Nette's Resilience: Journey of Love, Strength and Time

$4,525 of $50,000 goal
Given by 35 generous donors in around 3 months

Help Nette fight Stage 4 Lung cancer. Tagrisso gives hope, but at $10,879/month. Your support matters for quality time with family.

Titirangi, Auckland

We're reaching out with heavy hearts, seeking your support for our beloved wife, mum, and nanny, Jeannette Young-Smith (known as Nette to many). On October 20th, 2022, she was diagnosed with irreversible Stage 4 Lung cancer. The Erlotinib which is a funded treatment held the cancer at bay for 12 months, but last week, we learned of a new mutation, rendering the current treatment ineffective.

A glimmer of hope lies in Tagrisso, but it comes at a staggering cost of $10,879.00 per month. This is Mum's best chance at more quality time with family and friends. We urgently need your help to overcome this financial barrier.

Every contribution, no matter the size, is a step towards providing Mum with the chance she deserves. Your support not only eases the financial burden but adds warmth and hope to our hearts.

Join us in making a meaningful difference in Mum's life. Together, we can create more cherished moments for Jeannette Young-Smith
