Fighting the battle with Cancer for DEBBY Van Der Berg and beyond. Please help us financially to see Debby's last few days & her send-off

Manukau, Auckland

My name is Andre. Debby, my wife along with my daughter Emma, came to NZ for a better life in 2020. Last year Debby got diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer (this was during our final medicals for immigration) and she has had treatment for this. In February 2023, she was told that she has a new brain tumor on top of her lung cancer.

Debby was placed on a 'cancer trial drug' for her lung cancer which meant it was funded. However, there was no funding for brain cancer. She had 10 sessions of radiation and on Easter Saturday her health deteriorated. The doctors have given days only. I am broken. My daughter is broken. We are in dire need of financial assistance to see the next days and final stages of Debby's life.

Please help me and my daughter to see her through. We are in a new country and everything is so overwhelming for us. Please help us in whatever small and big ways. I wish this disease upon nobody. Cancer has robbed us of a life that we wanted to build in this beautiful country, I thank each one of you for your giving. Debby has been the kindest and hard working lady who has worked until last Thursday despite her health issues. Thank you my fellow New Zealanders for stepping in to help us see through this very difficult time. May your giving be honoured and may you all be blessed beyond measure. From Andre Van Der Berg and Emma Van Der Berg.
