Please help Elina Vilmane who is 35 years young and has been diagnosed with Cancer after losing her first Child at 37 Weeks Pregnant

Hawke's Bay

This has been created for the beautiful Elina Vilmane, who is 35 years young.

Last year Elina and her partner Rudis, were excited for the arrival of their first child. However in June, at 37 weeks pregnant, their daughter Gertrude passed away unexpectedly. 5 days after Gertrude’s passing, Elina felt a lump on her breast. As the medical professionals felt it would be due to hormonal changes, she had to wait 3 months for further investigation. During this time Elina also developed 2 lumps under her armpit, to which she went back to her Doctor. It took quite some time and many follow up calls to finally see a specialist. In November Elina was diagnosed with Cancer in her left breast and her lymph nodes. And most recently an MRI scan has detected it in her Liver. Elina has chosen a treatment plan that is not publicly funded. I have created this to support Rudis and Elina in paying for her treatment.

For those of us who are lucky enough to have Elina in our life, I’m sure we can all agree she is an Earth Angel. For those who do not know her personally, I can assure you that she is one those people who touches the heart of everyone she meets. She is always putting the needs of others before her own. She is unbelievably generous, kind, loving, caring and thoughtful. I’m sure we are all heartbroken to hear this news.

Most importantly during this time, Elina asks that we only hold positive thoughts of her during her healing Journey.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart

Our Angel Girl  2 October 2023

Update originally published on 2 October 2023

Hello,

It is with a broken heart that I share our girl has now passed onto another realm.

I’ll give a little update of what’s been happening recently. I’m sorry I haven’t done this earlier, I was just holding onto hope, as was Elina.

In recent months the Cancer metastasized throughout Elinas body. Around 9 weeks ago Elina shattered her vertebrae doing yoga and had to get an emergency op. There were post-surgery complications with a hematoma. Elina was injected with an antihistamine and within about 10 seconds passed away. She was brought back to life with an AED, was in a coma and in ICU. With the amazing strength, resilience and her words to me ‘everyone else’s love’ she came out. She was able to eventually walk again, remained so positive and had some more time with Rudis, family and friends in Latvia. The past couple of weeks she went downhill and when I spoke with her a week or so ago was bedridden and in a lot of pain. She was taken to hospital & passed away under the full moon on the 30th

I’m so proud of her for staying true to herself until the very end. She followed her path that has led her back to Gertrude.

I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart. You have no idea how much your love & support meant to her. Truly it did, she was overwhelmed.

I will organise a celebration of her life & dance together for her as she loved to do. However I’ll wait a little to see if Rudis can join us also. I’ll be In touch with the details

Lots of love,

Lissy x
