Janie Taiiringa-Roimata Bennett is our beautiful 14-year-old daughter, moko, sister, niece, cousin and friend diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a type of Bone Cancer. (Jan 14, 2024)
Leading, guiding and healing her to good health is paramount, therefore, we are asking for your help in donating towards the costs of a holistic range of treatments to help in her pursuit of being cancer-free.
We understand the costs can vary from $50,000-$100,000 a year, so please help us to
1. Raise awareness and mobilise self-determined healing
2. To create spaces to bring the spotlight to merging medicine and surgery with whakapapa practices
3. To bring together and encourage further self-determined healing, to help all whānau who are faced with this complex journey.

E mihi kau ana! 16 April 2024
E mihi kau ana ki a koutou katoa e akiaki tonutia ana te kaupapa whakarauora nei i a Janie.
We are halfway through Janie’s oncology plan and she’s working really hard to complete this last 10-week chemo leg to reach remission!
Last week, our girl completed surgery and amputation of her right arm where the cancer was, and has recovered remarkably from it.
To everyone who continues to give and help aid us financially, we are and will be forever grateful and will try our best to repay your kindness over our lifetime.
