My Beautiful and Amazing Mary Grace

  • Update Mary Grace

    Hello Everyone, I wanted to update you all regarding Mary Grace's situation.

    We have managed to get Mary Grace home to be with the rest of her family in The Phillipines. Her father, is so happy to see his daughter. Due to his age etc, he was unable to travel to NZ. Mary Grace's brother struggled to contain his emotions when we arrived, as a total surprise at the house.

    At the moment Mary Grace is in a treatment center in Manila, here in The Phillipines. She is undergoing treatment. The facility Mary Grace is in, very much focuses on natural treatment. Cleansing of the colon, stem cell therapy, diet etc etc. Mary Grace will be there for 10 days initially. She can continue to return as many times as she wants to.

    Mary Grace is a fighter and the bravest warrior I have ever known. Currently she is doing a lot better than doctors and specialist predicted - we will continue to believe for a miracle and that which seemed impossible.

    I thought I would post another update as this page draws to a close. We are now over the halfway way mark and getting closer to the goal but just not quite there. Thank you for your kindness, your generosity but most of all your love for Mary Grace. A little bit goes a long way and I sincerely believe that united we are able to achieve this goal for Mary Grace. Please share with your friends and family, with your work colleagues. Mary Grace and I appreciate you all.

  • Update of Mary Grace's diagnosis.

      31 August 2022

    Today, the Specialists have confirmed that my beautiful wife has Adenocarcinoma lung cancer. Because it's spread to her spine, it's considered advanced .. I won't be putting any further updates.

    Please understand that we need time to process this awful news. It's just so sad and actually unbelievable 😭

    We are so grateful for all those that are helping Mary Grace to get her family here. This is so much more urgent than when I started this page.

    Thank you!

    In love and light

    Mary Grace and Shane ❤️💜

    I am the only immediate family that Mary Grace has in NZ. Yesterday, Mary Grace asked me to please be with her through this journey and not leave her side. I promised her to be here with her 24/7. Tomorrow, I have a meeting with my place of work. The plan to take indefinite, and unpaid leave. I am the soul breadwinner but Mary Grace is my priority and she needs me. WINZ only pay a carers benefit for a sick child, a sick parent etc. They do not help with a carers benefit for an unwell spouse - I know it's crazy, how ridiculous!

    We need to get Mary's family here as a matter of urgency. Please help us fulfill Mary Grace's wishes and get her family here. Flights at short notice are incredibly expensive but united we can achieve this for Mary Grace.

    Much love

    Mary Grace and Shane ❤️💜

  • My Beautiful And Amazing Mary Grace - Update

      26 August 2022

    Update - I am going to have to seriously consider stopping work, so I can take care of my Mary Grace. Last night 25-08-22 Mary Grace was in terrible pain. I have had 8 hours sleep in total, the last 2 nights. WINZ will not pay a carers allowance to look after a spouse. They only pay it for children and parents etc but not a spouse - I have no idea why.

    We thank you for your continued support and helping us both. Mary has no immediate family in NZ except me. The least I can do is give up my day job and take care of my Angel, she deserves it.
