Rangi was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in July. The oncology team at Auckland Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in September. She will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Rangi is 28, worked as a hairdresser until July, 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 Cancer Centre 5 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 $9,700 goes: โ€ข Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $5,750 โ€ข Scans and lab work: $1,000 โ€ข Transport to Auckland Cancer Centre: $910 โ€ข Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $640 โ€ข Household costs while unable to work: $1,400 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Semisi
