Please support the Whittam-Murphy family

Kia ora friends and whānau

My beautiful friend Naomi is going through an extremely challenging journey battling terminal stage 4 bowel cancer :( This diagnosis has come as a sudden shock and unfortunately it has spread extensively and fast throughout vital organs in the past few months. Her condition is deteriorating rapidly and she is in a lot of pain. This has put a lot of emotional and financial strain and stress on Naomi, her husband Andy and their wee 15month old Ronin. This involves a lot of intensive medical treatment, Andy travelling back and forth to the hospital multiple times a day, and them needing to relocate their home closer to family. Sadly she has only been given approximately 6-9 months, all depending on how she responds to radiation and chemo treatments.

They would really appreciate all the love and support from their community to be able to create more precious experiences and memories as a whānau in the brief time they have left, and to be able to afford the daily costs of life, especially when Naomi is allowed home. A practical way we can all show our support is by helping donate some money to help them achieve this. It takes a village and we know that if everyone were to contribute even a small amount this would have a huge impact. Please gift only what you are comfortable and able to.

This would mean the world to the Whittam-Murphy family and they are extremely appreciative of all the love, time and support you give.
