The Gift of Precious Time against Stage 4 Breast Cancer

$25,225 of $80,000 goal
Given by 456 generous donors in around 7 months

Lauren needs help so she can continue to have the gift of time, to meet the cost of unfunded treatments she needs to live a longer life.

Nationwide

At just 30, our beautiful Lauren was diagnosed with breast cancer. She’s an adored Daughter, Granddaughter Sister, Cousin, Niece, Aunty & an incredible friend to so many.

She did everything to beat this till two years later the cancer was found to be metastatic (incurable )

Lauren has fought this latest diagnosis through surgery, chemotherapy & radiation treatments, but reached a point where funded options in NZ are unavailable.

Lauren is the most effervescent, giving & caring person, also a medic with Hato Hone St John Ambulance, her days spent helping others in need and now needs help herself to give her a chance of a longer life.

Lauren is facing an uncertain future without treatment, & now has the financial pressure of unfunded medications to continue this fight.

She deserves a chance to fight this, to prolong her life and be with everyone that loves her so deeply, she is the centre of the world to those close to her.

Lauren is deeply private, sharing her journey publicly is not easy and asking for help is difficult.

The last thing she wants, is to be defined by cancer, she is so much more.

Please support us if you can, to help with the cost of the unfunded therapy needed to give Lauren the gift of precious time - with family and friends. She has so much more life to live.

If you can give, no matter how big or small we would be truly grateful.
