Fighting stage 3 ovarian cancer: help Kylie afford treatment in Auckland

12 rounds of treatment are planned at Auckland University Hospital; we're asking for help with the costs insurance doesn't cover.

Kylie was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in August. The oncology team at Auckland University Hospital has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in November. She will be away from work for about 10 weeks. Kylie is 50, worked as a bus conductor until August, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after her. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Auckland University Hospital 2 times a week, and the income the family has lost add up quickly. We've already sold what we could and have begun borrowing for groceries. Every kindness from you takes weight off her shoulders. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $7,150 goes: • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $580 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,850 • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $4,720 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Jayden

        Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Auckland!

          Thank you. If you're in Auckland I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Ask me anything else.

      • Margaret Njeri Kyagulanyi

        Thinking of you and your family. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out.

        • Hasan Sajib Islam

          Wishing you the best, Jayden. Looking forward to the next update.

            Stay strong, Jayden. Shared it with a few friends. God bless.

              Rooting for you. This could happen to any of us. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from San Fernando
