Nelson

Recently Helen was diagnosed with a metastatic triple negative breast cancer which has unfortunately spread to her lymph nodes in her neck and has made its way to her bones. While the cancer is incurable it is treatable and Helen has begun her fight with chemotherapy, supported by an incredible medical team, family and friends. Like many families' facing cancer, this diagnosis has turned her world upside down. Helen has always loved working hard and supporting her community though the Cafe at Catch 22 and The Shot Coffee. Every donation, no matter the size will help with treatment related expenses, travel and everyday living costs, and keeping her life as normal as possible during this journey. If you are unable to donate, simply share this page or keeping Helen and her family in your thoughts and prayers means more than you will ever know. With love and gratitude on behalf of Helen and her family x

On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
