“Recovering from cervical cancer and ongoing health challenges”

Tauranga, Bay Of Plenty

Hey friends,

This past year has been an incredibly difficult ride. I was diagnosed with early-stage cervical cancer, which led to surgery. While the surgery went well, the healing process has not been easy. My mental health has been deeply impacted after months of uncertainty and physical pain, leading to severe anxiety and debilitating insomnia.

They say they got all the c- word 🙏🏻 however, I continue to face ongoing health issues and symptoms that are still being investigated. These challenges have left me with very low energy and limited capacity to work. Unfortunately, I don’t qualify for financial assistance, and my partner has been supporting both of us—something that has become increasingly difficult.

I’m reaching out for community support as I navigate these secondary health issues and work to heal and stabilize after the trauma of this past year. I am asking for help with some of the day-to-day living costs over the next few months, help with the costs of frequent doctors visits (not free in NZ) as well as support for naturopathic care, other healing therapies, and nutritional and supplemental support to help rebuild my gut and immune system.

If you are in a position to contribute, any support big or small, would mean so much and help ease the pressure during this time of recovery. I’m deeply grateful for any support & kindness. Thank you for walking alongside me as I continue this journey of healing. 💜
