Help a Wife, Mother, & Nana beat this terrible cancer, and get her life back to normal.

Wellington

On june 5th 2020 Catherine and her family received news that no one ever wants to receive...she was told that she has Classical Hodgkin's Lymphoma. A cancer that can be cured with a good dose of chemotherapy and radiation.

This means a lot of trips back and forth to the Wellington hospital for treatment.

With no income during this time brings a lot of added stress, which we would love help reduce!

Catherine is a wife, a mother of four children and Nana to 3 young grandchildren who she adores dearly.

She has always put everybody else's needs before hers. She is the first person to knit someone a baby blanket, to bake for people she doesn't even know, and helps in any way she can, to anyone she can!

It is now time for us to look after her!

chemo has started .  26 June 2020

Monday 22 june catherine had her first chemotherapy treatment. The dosage that she is given is one of the strongest. They wont to hit it hard and fast.

she has come home and is now resting up. Her days are very up and down and the medication she is on helps. But she loses energy levels very fast and occasionally feels very sick.

But she is still very positive though all of this and is reading though all your lovely messages of love and support.

She would like to thank everybody who has donated so far. And she is so grateful for your love and support...
