The worlds angel needs your help

Diana Turner (Mum to many) is the strongest and most caring person many have had the pleasure of knowing.

She has helped hundreds of people over the years as an incredible trauma counsellor, working with those that are often put into the "too hard" basket. She turned her own life story around to benefit others and always puts everyone else first, and at times even to the expense of herself.

Now this angel needs help from others.

Our incredible power house mum has been diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer and the cogs in health system and finances move slow. The medical doctors are pessimistic and not offering worthwhile options so we are empowering ourselves.

We have been trying to free up money to be able to begin her healthcare to help her fight back and heal. We have all run out of financial wriggle room after getting me through 5 years of Chiropractic school, my amazing mum supported our single income family a great deal so we could weather the storm to a better future, but debt has become high, resources have become scarce and broken down. I have begun my own business which takes time to build enough income to support her wage loss, the care needed and ridiculous living costs of Auckland.

We know not everyone has money available, so we are asking if those that know and love our family can help in anyway they can. Even your well wishes and love will help her with the energy she needs to get through this.

We need help with numerous things and raising money:

-We are looking into Keytruda but will have to begin fundraising for this, this is approximately 10 K a month, as it is not funded for lung cancer yet.

-Appointments with her natural health specialists.

-Ozone Machine hire is $100 a week plus set up, in the long run owning the machine itself is

more cost effective ($7, 500), she will likely need this for years.

-Money for supplements ($300 for a decent supply and start up).

-Supply of organic spray free fruit and vege

-Our cars have both quit on us (someone has been amazing and is now lending us one)

-Our washing machine has broken

-Our garden is desperately overgrown and lawn mower broke (our new neighbour has offered help but many hands make lite work)

We are eternally grateful for any assistance, it makes us all very uncomfortable allowing others to help us as we are normally the helpers, but mum means the world to us and hundreds of others, and that is everything.

Sincerely

Alyshia M Ripia
