Supporting Charlene beat Cancer

Charlene Medrano is a 33yr old amazing sister, genuine friend, passionate nurse, the most loving and generous person I know.

Charlene is known to be a jolly, very optimistic and confident single woman.

Charlene recently got diagnosed with Cervical Carcinosarcoma that is highly aggressive. She recently have to give up work to start treatment. She will have her uterus and ovaries removed and is scheduled to have her surgery 31 January 2024. She will then need to recover for more than a month and start chemotherapy and radiation treatment approximately for 6months. Treatment will initially require her to go to the hospital everyday for 5weeks.

Charlene is a Filipino that lived here in New Zealand for 8years and now in Melbourne where she will have treatment and spend her recovery.

Charlene is a very family oriented kind of person. She recently lost her mom with cancer in 2020. She will give more to her family and friends than to herself. This is why, us, her friends here in NZ are hoping to be able to help her now by sharing her story and hopefully raise a fund to help her just worry about recovery.

We are hoping that we can help fund one or more of her loving sisters or brother to be with her, who are all in the Philppines as she will not be able to travel now. It will hopefully help her family to apply for visa, air fare, day to day cost, food, rent etc.

We really appreciate your help on this journey to fight this battle together!
