Support Tracey as she undergoes another major surgery from the result of ovarian cancer.

Rotorua, Bay Of Plenty

Kia Ora, as many of you may know in 2019 Tracey was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer stage 3. In 2020 Tracey underwent major surgery which included a full hysterectomy and bowel surgery resulting in an ileostomy and 9 months off work. Mum lived with this ileostomy until 2023 when she had another major surgery to have this reversed - for 6 months mum was doing great healthwise. Then at the start of 2024 mum started experiencing immense pain and discomfort within the stomach region (if you know this lady, she has a high pain tolerance, but this pain has seen her in and out of hospital for alot of 2024/2025 with no answers and rapid weightloss.

After many appointments mum finally got her MRI which requires yet again another major surgery due to a twisted/obstructed bowel and two internal hernias.

Tracey is undergoing surgery on the 14th July 25, the surgery required is an Explorative laparotomy adhesisolysis and repair to two hernias incisional and right inquinal hernia bowel twisted/obstruction repair.

Tracey and Corey raise 3 of their grandchildren and are a one income family with Tracey being off work for 2 plus months, we’re asking for your support to help alleviate the financial stress until Tracey is able to return back to work. Any contribution/Koha no matter the size, will make a difference. Tracey is well known for her kindness, generosity, and her willingness to help others. Tracey will truly appreciate your kindness and support and thank you for the donations.
