Hey lovely folks. I know it's right on Christmas, but I'm hoping in the spirit of Christmas I can drum up some support for my sister who is one of your locals. We've agonised over reaching out past our immediate family and local friends, but we're hoping that getting her cause out further might help!
In April my lovely sister was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer. It's nasty and aggressive and we was told her best shot at surviving this is immunotherapy. Unfortunately immunotherapy isn't yet funded unless you have stage 4 cancer, and she definitely doesn't want to be stage 4!!
She's having Keytruda, and it's been excellent, but it's roughly NZ120k and after 6 months of chemo, bi-lateral mascetomy and now more chemo we're really really struggling.
Unfortunately her page never went "viral" as we had hoped and we thought going wider afield might support the efforts. Even $5 would be amazing , if we could find 500 people to "buy a coffee", it pays for the administration of her next treatment ❤️
Costs are just over 100k so far, we've raised 30k fundraised plus quiz nights and raffles, wiped out savings, credit cards and selling stuff. Thankfully treatment is "pay as you go" but we're at the point where it's really hard to keep going, and there's still about NZ 20k to raise.
Now I've seen pages raise that much in hours because they get shared by the right people. Guys, if anyone knows any "right people" please please consider sharing ❤️❤️❤️
Or if you have any fantastic fundraising ideas please let me know!! And please consider sharing my message and give-a-little page, the more people that see it the more likely it is we'll get to our target . 💝
Here's her fundraising page https://www.facebook.com/HelpErinWin?mibextid=hIlR13
And her give-a-litte page
This page is dedicated to fundraising and updates of Erins progress as she kicks Cancer to the curb.
