Shelley's Last Chapter

$5,403 donated
Given by 68 generous donors in 4 weeks

Support for setting up her home in Oamaru + any short trips she has the energy for.

Oamaru, Otago

Sadly Shelley's condition has become much worse. She now has 3 drop metastasis in her spine, these has been caused by the disease travelling down through the spinal fluid. There are 2 in the cervical & 1 in her lumbar. Sadly her body is shutting down.

She starting 10 days radiation from Monday 6th. This radiation will hopefully reduce these & give her one last burst of pain free time, unsure of how much. This will give her a chance to do some more things with the people she loves & we are making those plans already, however for now we need to get her through the treatment.

Her treatment is in Dunedin for the next 2 weeks, hopefully by then we will have found a big beautiful house with a view for the two of us in Oamaru, we can have her people come visit & prepare for the care she needs next. This will mean she can stop moving as at this point even short drives are painful.

This give a little is to support us both in Shelley's last move home to Oamaru and what she needs to be supported & comfortable as things progress and there is a good chance (& ALL of our hope) she will have one last burst of good & mobile energy & we will take last minutes trips to her favourite places & her favourite people. She can no longer drive to long distance so this will mean last minute flights.

This Give a little is managed by Jae, funds will go directly to support Shelley. If you are able to help in anyway we are forever grateful.
