Support for Our Whanaunga Kim – Walking Her Healing Journey Her Way

Our beloved whanaunga, Kim, has been diagnosed with peritoneal mesothelioma, a rare and aggressive cancer. After spending six years in Auckland, Kim has returned home to reconnect with her whenua, whānau, and wairua to seek healing in her way.

Unfortunately, the current healthcare system in Aotearoa doesn’t always support or fund alternative healing pathways. Like many others, Kim faces the heartbreaking reality that the care she believes in and that aligns with her values is not accessible through the public health system.

We are fundraising to:

Support Kim in accessing the healing she believes in

Relieve financial pressure so she can focus on her wellbeing

Help create a comfortable, peaceful environment for her healing journey

Support any travel, rongoā Māori, holistic treatments, and daily living costs

This kōrero isn’t just about treatment — it’s about dignity, choice, and the right to walk this journey in a way that honours who Kim is.

If you feel moved to koha, every contribution, no matter the size, brings Kim closer to the healing she deserves.

With deep gratitude

❤️
