They say it's Terminal

$1,210 of $150,000 goal
Given by 26 generous donors in around 6 months

Relieve the stress financially on my family so as to concentrate on fighting this terrible disease.

Waikato

I have been battling breast cancer since 2014. In 2016 i was diagnosed as terminal and i am so blessed to still be here with my family still. Because i am unable to work financially it is a burden and we only have the one breadwinner in our household. We are a family of 6. Which includes 4 boys aged 11, 8, 7 and 6. I am wanting to fundraise to relieve some of the pressure of paying the bills so i can concentrate on fighting this viscious disease and to give what time i have left as quality. If you could findit in your hearts to donate to my family i would be truely honoured and overwhelmed.

Use of funds

The funds will be used to clear any bills and to relieve stress and pressure financially. Anything excess will be gifted onto the hospice who have been a huge support to me and my family.

Overwhelming generosity  13 June 2018

I just want to say a big thankyou to those who have donated. My overall goal for this page was to be able to leave my family without the worries of bills in the event of my passing. The cancer is spreading and has invaded my brain now. New treatment plans are in place to help me to live longer and with all the support from people in the community it is like seeing a light at the end of the tunnel. Even if it is a tiny one im holding onto hope. Thankyou for your kindness. From a desperate mother who wants more than anything to live.

Hi Aroha, I’m so sorry to come across this. I had the privilege of nursing you when you initially got diagnosed and treated, I remember you well, you always were so brave and strong, and never ever complained despite going through so much. My thoughts are with you and your family! Jess x
