My daughter diagnosed with Brain Cancer, now it’s my turn to beat Stage 4 Hodgkin Lymphoma

Papakura, Auckland

Hi, I’m Melody mom of 2 beautiful children. My daughter Tala (5) she’s diagnosed with brain cancer June 2023. She had multiple brain surgeries, chemo’s and radiation. My son Nicko (2) diagnosed with severe sensorineural hearing loss on his left ear.

Feb 18,2025 - I’m diagnosed with Stage 4 Hodgkin Lymphoma. It’s a blood cancer in Lymphatic system. It’s classified as stage 4 because it spread to other parts of my body.

God knows what my family been through in the span of 2 years. My daughter’s treatment is an unforgettable experience. I witness my daughter being in pain but she remain brave, resilient and courageous. She taught me how to be strong. She is my survival guide.

Now, It’s my turn to beat this disease. I’ll do everything to survive. I’m still thankful despite of all this trials. Because it’s not my kids, my friends, my family, it’s me. Because God know’s that I can!

I’m getting ready for my intense chemo, that will be in 4 weeks time. I’m going for lots of testing like Lung and heart function test, pet scan to see which areas are affected.

And I need to have dental procedures before my treatment starts to avoid any infection.

I’m knocking on your kind hearts, the funds collected in this page will go towards to all my needs, transport, dental procedures, plane ticket.

Because my husband is self employed and he’s not able to stop working while I’m on treatment. I’m getting my sister to come here to help me with the kids.

Thank you very much. And I appreciate it so much

Use of funds

The funds collected will go towards to my Dental procedures, food packs, vitamins, personal care while on chemo, parking, gas, plane tickets for my sister
