Please help me make some memories with my boys

$470 donated
Given by 9 generous donors in around 3 months

I don't have much time. Cancer is in my leg, brain, skull and abdomen. As a family I would love to make special memories for my boys.

Canterbury

We had another page for Cheryl's treatment here (https://givealittle.co.nz/cause/help4cherybriggs) but our need for funds has changed so we have set up a new page.

This message is from Cheryl... thank you to all of the donors who gave, to help fund my treatment. Unfortunately we were unable to meet our goal. The money has been used to help me with day to day expenses, getting to and from hospital appointments and for ongoing medical costs.

I started with stage 4 Intransit melanoma in my leg. Doctors took me off treatment a year ago. The cancer has now travelled and I am now having radiation to the brain. There are lesions on my skull and other parts of my body. My time is precious.

I am a solo mum and have my 10 year old son living with me. I am unable to work and would love to be able to do some cool things with my boys that I am just unable to afford. It would mean the world to me to be able to make memories with my kids before it's too late and I would be so grateful for any help. Regards, Cheryl

Use of funds

Funds will be used to be able to take them away and do some fun things before it's to late if I dont make it then the funds will help them pay for funeral costs as I have no insurance or savings to help them
