Our mum Michelle needs your support!
Our beautiful mum Michelle has cancer, heartbreakingly we were told last year the cancer has returned and she needs your support!
Canterbury
Our beautiful mum Michelle was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2014, mum went on to receive treatment. Heartbreakingly we were told last year the cancer has returned and mum has been informed by the doctors that she is now early stage 4.
Our mum Michelle has 4 adult children (we are between 25 and 40 years old) and 8 grand babies with her eldest 12 years and youngest just 3 months old. Mr Hudson is mums shih Tzu doggy who is her best friend and is 9 years old.
Mum is known for her gorgeous shop in Victoria Street, Christchurch called Truly Scrumptious (after Chitty Chitty Bang Bang), which was as beautiful as she is. Her shop was a display of her creativity and flare for beautiful antiques and new giftware, high-teas and friands, but her shop was destroyed in the February 2011 earthquake. Which broke mums heart. Her dream and creativity outlet taken down with the building. This same year mums marriage to our dad of 33 years ended!
Our mum, Michelle works two jobs to make ends meet and her health is suffering, she needs to rest more (doctors orders), working 5-6 days a week just isn't helping. We would love for all our loved ones and beyond to really bless our mama and help her have quality of life!
The doctors have only given her 1-2 years which is too hard to think about! We want to do everything we can to help our mum be here with us and to continue to shine her light on all who she meets, for as long as we possibly can.
Jessica Calderwood's involvement (page creator)
I am one of Michelle's 3 daughters Jessica and I have set this page up with the help of my sisters to raise funds to help our mum and give back to her. She deserves this!
Use of funds
The money raised for our mum will be put towards paying weekly living costs so she can reduce her hours and drop one of her jobs. Ultimately we would love to send mum on a trip of a lifetime to France while she is still well enough, making one of her dreams come true!
