Lets get Sarena to Mexico for treatment, so that she will be around for a lot longer to enjoy life with her family.

Te Puke, Bay Of Plenty

Our amazing Sarena has had the news no one wants to hear. Her cancer has now spread through her bones and blood and the prognosis isn't good. There is currently no treatment in New Zealand that will make an impact on her cancer so we are raising money to get her to Mexico.

There is a treatment clinic in Mexico that we believe can give Sarena more time with her amazing family. However this comes at a massive cost which means financially its going to be hard on the Crane's. This treatment is quite honestly our best option at winning this fight that no one should have to fight! The sooner we can get her to Mexico to better.

Sarena is a close and very special friend.

Use of funds

The money is to go towards the flights and treatment in Mexico (Hope4Cancer) - any other funds will help with day to day costs for the family while Sarena is working hard to fight this disease regardless of whether we reach the goal or not.

Latest update

The long road continues 5 May 2025

Hi all,

I am re-opening Sarena's Givealittle page because we know just how long this journey is going to be. Sarena has had another scan and unfortunately it has shown more spots through her stomach now. That along with the pain she is facing has meant that she is now doubling up on treatments - still following her Hope4Cancer regiment from Mexico, she is also now undergoing more Chemo to try and attack this from all angles.

The pain she is in has meant things as simple as walking around her house is very difficult for her so focusing on this treatment and getting back to Mexico in a couple of months is EXTREMLY important.

Anything helps and this has become a MASSIVE financial battle for the Cranes so lets keep this going!!!
