Mrs Palmer needs our help!

When I first met Debbie in 2009 she was my art teacher, and year 13 Dean at Kawerau College. Students loved her, and she had a habit of adopting strays (people and animals alike). She and her husband Dave took me in during some of the darkest days of my life, and her family quickly became adopted family of my own.

Fast forward to Jan 2024, and I get a call to say Dave was in hospice care, dying of cancer. Dave passed away in April 2024. Only 11 weeks later, her youngest son Steve unexpectedly passed away at home. He was only just in his 40's. He left behind 2 young girls, and 3 cats now living with Debbie.

As if this wasn't enough, one of her beloved pets Molly, an 8yr old bulldog, is now developing a nasty mammary tumor. This dog was her late husband's soul dog, and Debbie can't bare to lose her. Not yet.

Unfortunately, Debbie and Dave spent their retirement funds on cancer treatment, and trying to stay afloat while Dave was sick. He went to work every single day throughout his life, even while undergoing cancer treatment, yet his pension was so small, it meant they had to cancel all of their insurances, and could still barely afford to cover the bare essentials.

Now that Dave is gone, Debbie is left in debt, and is only on a single pension. Molly needs urgent vet treatment to remove her tumor before it becomes too big to do so. Without Molly, I'm not sure how Debbie will continue to cope throughout the day, and I can't bare to see her go through yet another loss.

Please help us!
