Hope, love, and your kindness keep me going.

Canterbury

My world was turned upside down when I was diagnosed with cancer on May 2025. Away from family and work, financial stress has added another layer to an intense and active journey.

I'm deeply grateful for every message, prayer, and food donation that’s brought light to my hardest days.

As my journey continues, your support means the world. Every contribution helps me stay focus on healing and to keep being there for my children without worrying about how to make ends meet.

Please give what you can and share my story 💖

Use of funds

Every contribution will go towards living costs to helps me stay focus on healing and to keep being there for my children without worrying about how to make ends meet.

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.
