**Funds for this page have changed, I'm now needing a car to get to my cancer treatments. I have no car to get to my treatments chemo etc and I need to use some of the funds to put towards a vehicle I live far away from the chemo hospital at oncology Auckland City hospital I'm in northshore and I frequently need to get my dressings changed**

I have cancer tumor I've just had operation New Zealand that cant help heal me so I've done a give a little page to help for fundraising to get me the treatment I need to get over to China or Utah Florida or australia to find the best area for me to get this treatment. I've researched for treatment on options of the best survival treatment that I can find

I am hoping you can help me with my journey and support towards my treatment as it's going to cost me money that I honestly don't have.

I live at North shore Auckland my name is Shaylee adams I was born on the 4th of the 11th 1983 I am 37 this year. I had an operation on the 04 nov 2018 in waikato the docs said the got it all but recently a year 4 months later i fainted and vomitted aswell as stomach was blocked i was discharged 3 times sent home before they took this serious in the North shore hospital to have ct scans and them act accordingly with a sense of urgency. On the 14 of February valintines day they operated and they seen finally a large mass tumour it's attached itself to organs that they cannot cut because it will kill me so they had to leave it in there so I'm still healing from the surgery and i have an oncology meeting in Auckland hospital for ongoing treatment such as radiation therapy and chemo they have advised me that the chemo is not going to cure the cancer because the cancer cells are in my blood and lymph nodes and organs in my tummy.

They have told me that the chemo will not cure it but ill just give me more time but during that process of doing the chemo I will be sick and my energy levels will be down I'm trying to get stronger now so I can endure the chemo but there are other options that they don't have in New Zealand they have treatmemt in Utah Florida and salt lake City and China and it is called hypothermia cancer treatment.

There is a lady from Timaru New Zealand that I have found that is doing the same treatment it cost 75000 dollars for a year at least its an option for survival. There are other similar option around the world

I need all the support I can get I'm hoping I will be contacted very soon about qoutes on costs very soon from all the countries we as a family have researched to be able to support me during this time because as you know time is against me and I don't know how much time left my cancer is growing rapidly the tumor is large so I'm trying to beat the time and it's likely that I'll probably die within a year or 2 if I don't get any treatment that will help cure me.

I have provided links of research I have found myself. And the testimonies of others and their journeys.

Previously before this occurred

Ive been on a journey ended up with stomach cancer in 2018 it was a scarey ride and had part of my stomach removed where it was. I want to go to Bali next year and been fundraising and saving up for it. I've crossed off a lot on the wish list I have as I now see life is precious and I no longer want to waste the time left that I have. I'd love for you to be part of my dreams as well. if you can support my goals to completing my wish list. no matter how small it is I'd appreciate it and send you videos of my experience in hospital while I was going through cancer to completing my dreams the whole duration.i will acknowledge you in my videos in my journey and give gratitude to you as I go through life. my most scarey thought is that it may come back cancer and this is why I'm doing my wish list. please send your email and I will send you my journey up to this point. my up and coming event is going for a ride in mustang as I'm doing things in life now that I could only had dreamed of doing before. love you always Shaylee adams. bless love and light to all. adamsshaylee@gmail.com if wish to sponsor me towards the Bali journey. thank you

I am 35 years old my family are not wealthy we lived on a farm in Taumarunui out in the country side about 15km from the nearest shop. I was raised by a single mother of 4. My father has 13. Younger brothers have died recently which was around the time i git cancer also. I also was loved by a step father and have his last name as he is the father to 2 of my siblings from my mothers side. I am the oldest girl on both sides of the family. I was good at school i loved school ive worked hard through my life. I knew from a young age that i wanted to own a successful business the first qualification i got was in small business management i was the youngest in my class. I then went to fashion school. I loved making people feel beautiful as i know if you look good you feel good this was my passion ive been making clothes for my business in the comfort of my own home space, printing personalised clothing. It all crumbled when i got sick. My first ever job i ever had was looking after elderly when i was 15 years old during high school i did this job as well as school i started off there asking for just work experience. I love my elderly i learnt alot from them. Ive held hands of many that had passed on of different ethnicity through this type of work.

I was also a live in caregiver for an elderly couple while i studied as a bar tender and worked as a waitress in a restaurant hotel in wellington.

I worked making trilesse coopers finest gears she is one of nz top fashion designers. Ive loved my family so much that my inspiration was them and not wanting to see my mum struggle or us and hope that one day i could help us as a unit by working hard and leading by example. I moved from tmn when i was very young i lived at a look out for 3 months with my dog in a car going to my studys and tryna find work. It was hard. But i had a dream. Then was just to get out and try with all i had. Ive seen and been loved by alot of people along the way. Alot werent my family or even my ethnicity i remember matilda the lady i looked after she was white i loved her so much she taught me so much i was 16 or 19 she was in a wheel chair i loved and learnt so much from her. I miss her dearly.i loved her like she was my family i respected her very much if i disappointed her it hurt me very much.

Anyways no matter what ive done ive learnt so many things ive done so much and been so many places in new zealand. I really want to go over seas to different places other then new zealand. I done so much because i wanted to be a person that my siblings could be proud of when actually i lost myself scrapping and husling to do things work for sake to help all my loved ones and neva thought of myself. GOD has a funny way of making you rest. Thats how i think about why i got sick. He made me rest without an option and to be honest i still couldnt stop working i still was making printed clothing in hospital. Marketing and making clothes even after my surgery and me losing half my weight right down to bone. I went out for 2 hours as thats the only amount of time i was allowed off the ward in hospital. Me and a good friend would go out to the park and feed anyone we could for free with sausage sizzles. No matter what i stayed positive most times while i was sick it was coming from deep down and just to smile was taking all that i had to do it. I would sleep straight away. I hidbaway how i really felt. I kept giving even when i felt i couldnt. But no matter what more then death that hurt me was not completing all the things i always wanted to do. I had accepted death it wasnt dying that scared me it was that ive done so much for others and always put my dreams on the back i kept saying ill look after me later. I can do what i want later my dreams can wait they aint that important. Cancer gave my a chance to appreciate me. To actually see that i am worth having and doing thing ni want to do that fill my soul so i can carry on helping and giving. I forgot me. So its not that i dont want to help others now i dont think i could ever stop if i tryed my best not to but i know now that for the first time i am going to do something just for myself this time. This is the lesson ive learnt from my experience and i can finally take action towards my vision board i created over 25 years ago

Thank you god for all your blessings and lessons i learn even in hard times.

If i do not reach my goals then i will use the money to help others to support people in hospitals and to do events to uplift people that have been affected by cancer to keep their mindset positive and do things for them that they wish to do.

Thank you
