This fundraiser is to support a NZ visitor with the cost of much needed, but non-funded, chemotherapy.
Manawatu / Whanganui
My mum came to visit us (me and all my siblings) in NZ just before the Covid Pandemic. She was supposed to go back to South Africa by the end of May, but because of Covid she wasn't able to go back as there weren't any flights in and out the country. Immigration extended her visa with 4 months. We were really glad that she could stay for a little bit longer.
End of June, my mum started to feel really sick and fatigue. We took her to the emergency room in Whanganui and they started to do a few tests.
She was very anemic and her red blood count was half of what it should be. She received an emergency blood transfusion (2units). After some more tests they saw there's cancer spots on her spine. We were devastated.
After 4 weeks she needed another blood transfusion (3 units).
After seeing the oncologist, it was decided that she needs chemotherapy.
She is not a NZ resident and therefore the health system will not pay for this treatment.
We can't send her back to South Africa as she will be all alone and she is at high risk with Covid that's still in South Africa.
Any donation or contribution towards her treatment will be appreciated and received with gratitude.
Raising funds for my mum who needs to go through chemotherapy.
We want to pay for my mum's chemotherapy. Any surplus will be donated to other cancer organizations.
Thank you very much💖
