One Last Hug: Raising Funds to See My Best Friend in the US

$120 of $10,000 goal
Given by 2 generous donors in 7 days

Help me say goodbye to my best friend, Cenah, in the US. She’s dying of kidney failure. Please donate to help me travel this November.

Hastings, Hawke's Bay

My name is Alyssa, and I am asking for your help during an urgent and heartbreaking time.

For nearly two years, my best friend, Cenah, has been in the US waiting on the kidney transplant list. Sadly, time has run out, and her condition is now critical.

Cenah has been my anchor through so much of life. Watching her battle end-stage kidney failure from across the world has been agonizing, but the thought of not being able to hold her hand and say a final goodbye is devastating.

Travelling from New Zealand to the US this November is my last chance to see Cenah before she passes away. The expenses for urgent overseas travel, flights, travel insurance, and basic accommodation near her...are simply beyond what I can manage alone.

How You Can Support:

Donate: Any amount, big or small, brings me closer to her.

Share: Spreading this page with your network means the world.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me give Cenah one last hug.

Use of funds

Funds will cover return flights to the US, travel insurance, local transport, and basic accommodation near Cenah, allowing me to be by her side in November. Every donation directly enables this.
