I am fighting Hodgkins Lymphoma and I want to raise money for the LBC foundation NZ and ease financial support during treatment

Papakura, Auckland

Hi everyone 🤍

I never imagined I’d be sharing something like this, but recently I was diagnosed with stage 2 Hodgkin lymphoma after finding a lump in my neck late last year. Since then, everything has moved very quickly, with ongoing tests, scans, and preparing to start chemotherapy.

While I’m incredibly grateful that this is a very treatable cancer, the reality of going through treatment at 19 has been overwhelming. I’ve already had to make big decisions, including freezing my eggs before starting chemo, and I’m coming to terms with the physical and emotional effects of treatment, including losing my hair.

As I begin this journey, I won’t be able to work, and there are a lot of unexpected costs involved — including wigs, travel to appointments, and general living expenses while I focus on my health and recovery.

I’ve created this Givealittle page to help ease some of that financial pressure. Any support, no matter how small, would mean so much to me. Even sharing this would be greatly appreciated 🤍

Thank you so much for your kindness and support — it truly means everything to me 🤍

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.
