Help Karen and her family with costs to be with her terminally ill daughter Tamzyn
Katikati, Bay Of Plenty
Hi Everyone
I’m reaching out on behalf of my friend Karen, who is going through something no parent should ever have to face.
Her 10-year-old daughter, Tamzyn, is currently in Starship Hospital with terminal brain cancer, diagnosed as DMG (Diffuse Midline Glioma).
Being there with her means everything, but Karen lives around 2.5 hours away, so every visit involves travel costs, accommodation, and time away — which is becoming incredibly difficult to manage. Karen is a full-time nursing student and is doing everything she can to hold things together, but she isn’t eligible for financial support.
She also has her son with her, who is extremely close to Tamzyn and needs to be there with his sister.
Right now, making memories together as a family means everything.
Karen is also trying to bring Tamzyn’s sister over from Australia so she can spend precious time with her too.
Every visit, every hug, every moment together matters more than words can explain. If you’re able to help in any way — no matter how small — it would make a huge difference.
Even sharing this page on Facebook would mean so much.
Thank you for your kindness, support, and for taking the time to read
Karen is a close friend of mine and support person
The money will be used for travel costs, accomodation and living costs and also expenses for Tamzyn to spend quality time with her siblings.
Thank you ❤️
