A place to support Noels as she can walk out of this cancer journey!

Annesbrook, Nelson

If you know Noels, you know she is the one who is always there for everyone else. A devoted mum, loving wife, proud nanni, passionate teacher, and sports lover, she has spent her life giving her time, energy, and heart to others. Over the past eight months, Noels has been bravely going through a healing journey with multiple myeloma, facing relentless treatment with incredible strength and positivity.

Sadly, the treatment giving her the best chance is not funded in New Zealand (it is govt funded in 47 other countries but not here). The most effective drug is Daratumumab and is administered in Chch at 10k per shot. Following a stem cell transplant in Feb (in chch for 6 weeks), the preferred treatment for the maintenance plan, will be Dara for a period of time.

After already spending some considerable retirement funds, right now, Kezza and Noels need the same kindness and support they have always so freely given.

Any help, big or small, will make a real difference and mean the world to the whānau.

Noels is my mum. My supportive, fun, hard working, scarily determined mum!

Use of funds

The biggest cost if for the daratumumab treatment. This is close to 10k per dose (administered in Chch). This has been administered most weeks in 2025 and in 2026 will be monthly following a stem cell transplant.

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.
