"Strength in Unity: Join Us in Supporting Donna and Rikus Through Donna's Courageous Cancer Journey"

  • Surgery Outcome and Ongoing Support Needed

      15 June 2025

    We wanted to share an update on Donna’s journey. Sadly, the recent surgery was unable to remove the tumour due to it's position and the risks involved. While this news is deeply difficult, Donna and Rikus remain determined to keep fighting with everything they’ve got.

    Once Donna has recovered from the surgery, she will begin another round of chemotherapy to help keep the cancer at bay for as long as possible.

    The emotional toll is heavy, and so is the financial one. The ongoing costs of frequent hospital visits and specialist appointments continue to mount. On top of that, Rikus has had to take significant time off work to care for Donna and be by her side—something he wouldn't have any other way, but it does put extra strain on their finances.

    Your support through this Givealittle page helps ease that burden. Every donation goes directly toward making this difficult journey a little more manageable for them both.

    Thank you for your kindness, encouragement, and generosity. It truly makes a difference. 💛 Thank you for standing with Donna and Rikus. 💛

  • 7th April Update

      7 April 2025

    Donna has made it through her 4th round of chemo. It has most certainly knocked her around but she is dealing with it like a champ! Her lovely Mum is here for a visit and I can see how that has boosted Donna's energy levels. The battle continues however, and after her 6th round of chemo planning for surgery begins.

    Thanks so much to each and everyone of you for sharing this page and all your very generous donations. Donna and Rikus are extremely grateful as this has eased the financial pressure immensely.
