Let's help Colleen continue her Cancer battle

$1,475 of $25,000 goal
Given by 8 generous donors in one year

Colleen needs help to continue her courageous battle with Cancer.

Napier, Hawke's Bay

Colleen is a much loved daughter, wife, mother, grandmother, sister, auntie and friend. Three years ago she was diagnosed with cancer, and so began a huge battle. She has endured many radio therapy treatments, surgeries and chemo therapy sessions. Unfortunately modern medicine can no longer help. 12 months ago generous donations were given to help fund alternative cancer treatments which are the only option left for her. I’m happy to report that she is still with us and doing okay, but unfortunately these alternative treatments come at a high price and it is a sad reality that if you don’t have the funds you fall into the abyss - life, it seems, comes at a price. The donations she received were used very carefully, but sadly have now been depleted. She has fought this battle so courageously and we don’t want her to give up the fight when she is doing so well. We are reaching out once again asking for donations, even the smallest amount will help. All of the funds raised will go directly to Colleen, so she can use them as needed.

The unfunded treatments Colleen is receiving are mistletoe injections, vitamin C infusions, mushroom immunity, and various natural medications for liver function and immunity, as well as a steroid medication for nausea.

Sad update  1 July 2023

Sadly Colleen passed away on 1 April 2023. It is so unfair that alternative medicines come at such a high price. She couldn't afford to keep them all up, and the cancer took over. I question the cost of these medicines and wonder if people are taking advantage of desperation.
