Support Joy Cancer Treatment- Let’s Help Lighten The Load

$945 donated
Given by 25 generous donors in around 3 months

Joy would never ask, so we’re asking for her 🌻

Waimate, Canterbury

Our beautiful friend Joy has been diagnosed with cancer and is currently undergoing treatment. As a loving mum, grandmother, wife, humble friend, and quiet giver, she now needs (not wants!) a bit of that love back.

The beautiful Joy has recently been diagnosed with breast cancer and is now undergoing chemotherapy. As anyone who’s been through it knows, cancer takes a toll physically, emotionally – and sadly financially too!

If you know Joy, you know how hard it is for her to be on the receiving end of support — but this is just one of those moments we can give back a little to a family who give so much. We want to take a little bit of the stress away so Joy and family can focus on rest and recovery. Any contribution – big or small – will go directly to helping Joy and family with daily costs during this challenging time.

Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and love. If you’re not in a position to donate, sharing this page is just as appreciated.
