Support for Chastiny and her fight against brain cancer
Let's help support Janie and Jason so they can focus their energy and time with Chastiny helping her fight against cancer.
Tauranga, Bay Of Plenty
My name is Nikki and Chastiny is my beautiful 16 year old niece and an amazing sister to Riah, Kortea, Kiara Aaliyah and Raumana. Like any other teenager, Chastiny was enjoying life, hanging out with mates, loving TikTok, playing netball, working part-time and learning how to drive. On December 28th, her life was turned upside down when she was diagnosed with an aggressive brain cancer, a glioblastoma, in a part of her brain that is too difficult to operate on. Currently in her third week of radiation and chemotherapy, after the 6 week treatment they will have to try other methods to contain it with non-funded medication and possible medical trials which will come at a cost.
Chastiny’s parents want to spend whatever time Chastiny has left giving her the best quality of life she can possibly have. Any donation big or small will help our beautiful Chas to get through this and beat the odds!!

Latest update
Chastiny is funded - Thankgoodness 17 January 2024
Because of Chastiny being with Pediatrics, we are able to get funding for her for her medication! This may changer in the future, but for now she is ok to receive her medication at no cost to us. The money we have received has help pay for Chastiny to have a room make over with also a purchase of a good bed for her. We have also used some of the money to help fund holidays for her, so that we can enjoy family time. We still cant go crazy with spending as we are never sure what we may need to purchase for her. Chas still has 3 monthly stays in hospital. Since Chas will be 18 soon, we may lose the privilege's of getting stays in hospital for free and will need to book motels. This is what funding will be going towards for the future.
Thankyou so much to everyone that has donated. We have appreciated every single dollar and make every single purchase worth it.
Much Love x
