Young Aunty on limited time

Amanda Hapeta has been suffering with terminal mucinous carcinoma cancer for four years. This is a rare form of cancer which developed in the appendix for Amanda back in 2015. Upon being admitted to hospital in 2015 to have a burst appendix removed Amanda's diagnosed malignant pathology reports were not followed up on due to negligence and her cancer quickly progressed Unbeknown to Amanda. Early 2018 Amanda presented with a abnormal growing abdomin, an ultrasound was completed which showed malignant tumours the size of two six pound babies had developed in Amanda's bowels and smaller tumours were presenting themselves throughout her body. The lack of care given to Amanda in 2015 meant she become terminal with an expected life limit of five years.

Presently Amanda is in Christchurch hospital and has been for the last 30 days. Amanda now has a palliative plan put in place as nothing more can be done to improve her condition.

Amanda is now on limited time and has requested to see all the people that are important to her.

I Monique have six very important children who love their Aunty very much. Amanda has been an active figure throughout their young lives and they see Amanda like their second mother.

The purpose of this fundraiser would be to help raise enough funds to use for the travel cost and accommodation cost of Amanda's nieces and nephews as they reside in the North Island and need to get down to The South Island ASAP. Any extra funds would help other relatives or friends including Amanda's siblings that reside overseas and loved ones in the North Island.

Time is now of the essence and we all want the opportunity to spend time with Amanda particularly before her coherency reduces. The children in particular have strong need to be with their Aunty.
