Support our JoJo

$5,155 donated
Given by 49 generous donors in around 11 months

Let us rally together and help our Jo Jo while she fights this cancer away.

Northland

So our gorgeous, amazing Jo has been diagnosed with stage 3 Triple negative breast cancer and chemo has began for 24 weeks depending on response.

Jo is an amazing mum of 2 gorgeous girls Lexi (11) and Greer (16), wife, sister, daughter and the next 9months of treatment are going to be tough.

She is a fantastic midwife who has cared for so many families in NZ and Australia, some of you may not know but as a nurse and midwife you are not allowed to work while having chemo and radiation!

So let's help take off a stressful load and raise some funds for her to use as she needs during this fight against Dave the lump.

This is a woman who has spent her life giving to everyone and anyone she meets, she is so selfless.

We love you Jo Jo❤️

Concentrate on fighting, healing and having family time ❤️

Amy-Jane Motu'apuaka's involvement (page creator)

I'm setting up this page on behalf of my bestest mate in the world and feel she deserves a million fold back what she has put out in this world.

Use of funds

Funds raised will be for Jo to spend where needed, bills, mortgage, treats out, or anything she needs during this time of treatment.

Radiation time approaches   28 March 2018

Hi everyone, thank you again for all of your support for our Jo Jo.

This battle against Dave has been a huge road for all involved and our amazing strong and positive Jo keeps on showing us just how amazing she is and what she I capable of.

Please see her latest Facebook update below.

Love of love ❤️❤️

Thought I’d update my Facebook support crew of the latest on ‘Dave’. 🤢

So apparently, because Dave left behind 40% of his friends when he was taken out, the dr doesn’t think we killed Dave hard enough with the first 6 months of chemo! So....he wants me to have my radiation and then start another 6 months of chemo!!! Urghhh!!!! Tablets this time, side effects likely but might get to keep my spunky hairdo. Can’t work as I’ll be ‘hot’ and can’t play with the patients.

So, here we go again peeps. I’ll keep you posted on anything exciting. 💕💕💕
