Super awesome family needs the wider communities help.

Canterbury

We are creating this page to fundraise for our beautiful friend Caz and her family.

To give you a little bit of a background. Originally from the UK they have made Nz their forever home. They purchased their first home in July 2015, moved in and started demolition for renovation immediately. In August, for a birthday pressie the cosmos really could've kept, Caz was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. In September she went on leave from her job to undergo a mastectomy and chemotherapy. She finished this treatment in January this year. When she tried to return to work she was told she had no job. So as she was getting back on her feet started temping and even started her own wee business. This August, to celebrate her birthday again, Caz was diagnosed with Stage IV Metastasized Breast Cancer... Unfortunately, this has no cure. The cancer has spread to her bones and now she will start a new palliative treatment process to give her as much time as possible, and to keep her as comfortable as possible.

We have started this page to ease some financial burdens and help them finish their little peace of paradise for their family to enjoy.

We have been overwhelmed with the requests to help but with family and friends spread so far across the world we figure this was the best way to involve everyone.

For people in Christchurch... We are doing working bees to clear up the yard in early October, so please find us on Facebook; Elbow Grease Needed if you would prefer to Givealittle time.

Thanks in advance.

Phillips Family Fundraising's involvement (page creator)

We're doing this because Caz won't ask for help and they need help.

Basically, we love them. We want to make their life a little bit easier and hopefully give them one less thing to worry about so they can just enjoy their family time.
