Support Mel through more cancer related surgery and recovery time

$4,380 donated

I'm trying to raise some money for my beautiful mother Melissa who's currently struggling with many health issues with no financial support

Canterbury

Over the last 8 years my poor mum has had to endure so much.

She was diagnosed with breast cancer, had a treatment induced heart attack, extensive breast reconstruction, two ruptured implants, precancerous cervical cells removed, cancerous skin lesion removed, a total hysterectomy due to high risk ovarian cancer and too many other invasive procedures to even list!

It's been a long hard painful journey.

Now mum is having both of her reconstructed breasts removed due to symptoms associated with a disease called Breast Implant Associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma.

She also needs to have surgery on her stomach to rectify an issue that causes her to be unable to eat solid food once she returns to Perth which will cause her further time from employment and no other financial support.

If you could donate anything even $1 it would be greatly appreciated. She's already had to deal with so much and I don't want her having to be financially stressed on top of everything.
