Mother in Sydney with Terminal cancer begins palliative care on Monday alone at her home. Let's help her family go join her.

Taranaki

On the 16th of August Sadly Debbie Pearson informed her family of her terminal cancer and today we were informed that there is nothing the hospital can do except make sure she is comfortable. Debbie has chosen to go home to be with her dogs as they are very important to her and so the family can be there with her at the sad time when she passes. The hardest part is that Debbie has 1 daughter in New Zealand Kylie Pearson (30), Kylie and her Partner Des have 3 children Bentley (6) and Hazel (3) and Spencer(12) they have recently started a new farm job in Kakramea Taranaki. Debbie also has another daughter Sam Pellett (25) and her partner Elly who are currently living in Queensland. Debbies uncle Micheal and cousins Logan and John are in Taranaki New Zealand and that makes up their complete family unit. Debbie lives in Sydney Australia with no family support and this has been a horrible shock to everyone, Debbie now faces the beginning of her pellitive care on Monday alone with her fur babies in her flat until we can get the family to be by her The family have been advised that time is unfortunately not on Debbie's side and The Doctors have advised the family to go to Debbie immediately. Unfortunately the family in New Zealand do not have passports or the available funds to just go be by Debbie immediately. Sam and Elly are able to go to Debbie but taking time off work means things like food etc in Sydney will be a complete struggle for them. I have created this page in the hope that passports, flights and food can be raised and any thing over those costs will go towards her funeral costs and having her cremated to bring her home to New Zealand to be placed with her mother Sandra who passed away also from cancer March 1 2008 and is buried in the Kopuatama cemetery this is Debbies wishes. The last 24hrs have been a blur and they are desperate to find a way to Debbie before she passes.

Debbie is a very close family friend and Debbies children have asked for help with this page

Use of funds

The funds will be used on urgent passports and tickets to get the family from New Zealand and food while they stay with Debbie anything over that will be for funeral costs and cremation to bring her home to New Zealand.
