Just to make things a little less stressful

Meadowbank, Auckland

Hey friends and family, Im on the second part of my chemo treatments for invasive breast cancer. 12 more weeks and then I start radiotherapy.

This round is a bit tougher as the medication is a lot stronger so takes a bit more of toll on my body and immunity and my white blood cells aren’t playing the part so I’m have to have a lot of blood transfusions , but we are getting there ! My kids have been amazing and I don’t know what I’d to with out their love and laughter

So any contribution go towards bills , petrol and some times online shopping if I can’t make it to the supermarket. Any help if so much appreciated xxx see ya on the flip side!!!!

For transparency, you may see my previous page here: https://givealittle.co.nz/cause/help-me-help-mum

Use of funds

Petrol, groceries , bills.

Update   26 April 2026

Hey everyone… I met with my surgeon this week, and found out I have a double mastectomy in my midst .. it’s when you are told so matter of fact it reminds you how real this is , I have many doubts about choices ( in the end it’s up to me) I don’t have a partner and I have two kids to think about, recovery is going to take a bit , but I know I will get through this . I’m so lucky to have such amazing children that support me throughout every choice I make .

Thank you again for your your love and support

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
