Together, we can help Jaime access the care she needs and surround her and Damon with love and hope on this journey.

Northland

Our beautiful Jaime has been diagnosed with stage 3 cancer. Her world has changed so suddenly, and she is now facing the fight of her life. With long public waitlists, she needs to explore private and unfunded treatment options - because time is precious.

Jaime has always been someone who gives so much of herself to others. Through her teens and 20s she worked tirelessly towards becoming a doctor, dedicating her life to caring for others and making a difference. Now it’s our turn to care for her.

Her partner Damon has just secured the job he has been working towards for years, but instead of being able to celebrate, their focus has turned to hospital trips, weekly chemotherapy in Auckland, and the heavy financial toll this journey brings.

This page has been created to help ease that burden - covering the costs of unfunded treatments that may give Jaime her best chance, fuel for the countless trips, and keeping their home steady so she can focus fully on her recovery.

Every donation, no matter the size, will help lift some of the weight from Jaime and Damon’s shoulders. More than that, it will remind Jaime that she is surrounded by love, hope, and a community that believes in her strength.

Together, we can give Jaime the best chance to heal and to keep moving forward with hope in her heart.

An old friend of Damon's, he is like a little brother to me. I have had the pleasure of knowing Jaime since they met - and adore her equally.
