Let's give Claire-Bear some hope!
Raising funds to help Claire fund her cancer treatment.
Belmont, Auckland
Claire is a loving mum to Miles (12) and Lola (9) and wife to Lucas, not mention an amazing sister, friend and daughter. In 2020, Claire was diagnosed with breast cancer at 37 years old. After months and months of treatment and surgery, Claire was feeling well and we hoped she had beaten it once and for all. Unfortunately, that wasn't so and the cancer returned, having spread to her bones, requiring further treatment and radiation.
In 2024, tumours were found in Claire's liver and lungs. Recently she was part of a clinical trial for a new treatment, however severe side effects meant she was unable to continue so with the help of her medical team, Claire has decided to take a more targeted approach.
This targeted drug, Trastuzumab deruxtecan (Enhertu), uses chemotherapy and an inhibitor to target the cancer and reduce the current tumours and stop the growth of new ones. The treatment is given in a three week cycle. Unfortunately, this is only partially funded and not covered by Claire's medical insurance - this is where we need your help.
I would like to raise enough funds to cover the cost of Claire's treatment and support Claire to enjoy the time she has with her family. The cost is approximately $50,000.
Claire has been living with cancer for five years and it has been an extremely challenging time for her and her family. Any donation would be greatly appreciated - please help to spread this message and let's give Claire- Bear some hope. X

Use of funds

Your support means the world 29 May 2025
My dear friend Em started this page with the hope of raising enough funds to cover the cost of my cancer treatment. But what she — and everyone of you — has given me goes far beyond that.
Thanks to your incredible generosity, not only has treatment become achievable, but I’ve also been gifted something even more powerful: hope, strength, and support.
My family and I have been truly overwhelmed by the love we have received. We are at a loss for words to express just how much this means to us.
After years of difficult treatments, I was feeling exhausted and defeated. But now, I’m going into this next phase with a renewed sense of hope and strength — and that’s because of all of you.
So far, I’ve completed two rounds of treatment, and I’m so happy to share that they’ve already had a positive impact, helping to reduce my tumour marker.
When Em first launched this page, it was incredibly hard for me to accept help. Cancer is a burden I never wanted anyone else to carry. But I’ve come to realise — I’m not alone in this. And that realisation has been deeply uplifting and humbling.
The cost of treatment was a source of great stress for me and my family. Your kindness has lifted some of that weight off our shoulders, and for that, we are eternally grateful.
From the bottom of our hearts, The Datt Family, along with my parents & sisters families thank you for standing beside us during this difficult time. Your support means the world.
