Given by 68 generous donors in around 9 months

Our whanau want to provide quality of life and allow our Mama a unique opportunity to make the choice of how she transitions from this life.

Nationwide

Our Mama has been battling stage 4, Advanced breast cancer, for the past 2 years, unfortunately we're no longer on the winning side of this fight whanau. All treatment options are no longer working, but this wahine toa isn't ready to give up on living her life to its fullest. Our goal as a whanau is to try and make the most of the time we have left with her, by ensuring it's as positive as possible. Our mama will leave quite the legacy. Stephanie Awheto was the first trilingual interpreter for the deaf in New Zealand and we are celebrating 30 years of her passion and dedication to the deaf community this year. She has lovingly been supported by her forever devoted husbsnd Marshall, 5 tamariki, 14 mokopuna, and many, many more through this at times very difficult journey. Our mama is the pillar of our family and we want to focus our efforts on quality not quantity. Thank you all for taking the time to read our story and we are very greatful for any donations or contributions to our cause.

Use of funds

Your contributions will be allocated to reducing some financial strain as she's no longer able to work due to the progression of her disease, allowing her quality time with her family to create lasting memories and support her transition from this life.
