Please HELP save my mother from Cervical Cancer

$10,000 donated
Given by 15 generous donors in 21 days

Stage 3 Cervical Cancer is serious stuff but with your generous help we can beat it. $1 at a time, thats all it takes to change a life.

Manawatu / Whanganui

My mother Josephine has been diagnosed with Stage 3 Cervical Cancer. At the moment it is contained to her cervix only and has not spread further.

We have been advised by Dr Pherdes Galbo at Cebu Doctors Hospital in the Philippines that it is treatable as long as we start the treatment as soon as possible. She will require 6 treatments of Chemotherapy, 28 treatments of radiation, 4 treatments of Brachytherapy. This all needs to be done before any further surgery is possible.

My mum has scarified her entire life for us, she lost her husband many years ago and has brought us all up on her own. It is now our time to help save her from this cruel disease, So far we have just about exhausted our finances on pain killers and medicine to control the bleeding and to keep her comfortable. but what she really needs is the treatment outlined by the doctor.There is no public health system in the Philippines so if you cant afford the fees then there is no hope for you. It will cost about $10,000 NZD for all her treatment.

Please please help save our wonderful, kind and self sacrificing mother, we still want and need her to be around for many years to come. Losing her now is not an option. She deserves another chance, we love her so very much.

Thank you for taking your valuable time to read this.
