Financial Relief during Alejandra's Terminal Cancer and Palliative Care Stage

Last year Ale was given the life-changing diagnosis of terminal bowel and liver cancer at just 43. The cruelest shock and anyone’s worst nightmare. After many, many rounds of treatment, her doctors have said any medical options to slow her cancer have run their course.

Right now, we want to provide financial assistance to Ale and Dan and their family so they can enjoy the time she has left and create lasting memories for their two dear children, Emilia 7 and Manu 4.

Whilst Ale’s traditional treatment options have run their course, there are still some supporting/complementary treatment options she would like to try but are cost prohibitive. These are treatments that would provide her reassurance and comfort.

Dan isn’t able to work right now due to being a full-time carer for Ale and their whānau during the palliative care stage.

From appointments, administering medication, getting kids to and fro, managing his, hers and the kids emotional needs, kids activities, meals, working alongside the Nurse Maude palliative care team, house admin, collecting prescriptions, holding it all together. Our heart goes out to Dan, we know you have no choice but to carry on but man you’re doing an amazing job.

Ale’s Mum was able to come out to Aotearoa to support Ale on her journey. She is elderly, not able to speak English and therefore is unable to work here. We want to support Ale’s Mum to remain here to be beside her daughter for whatever time they have left.
