You can give hope to Kiwis facing cancer today.
Your donation will provide essential care, support, and life-saving research for New Zealanders, like Tarita, impacted by cancer.
“Just because you don’t feel anything doesn’t mean nothing is there.”
Tarita had no symptoms. No lump. No pain. No reason to think anything was wrong. But thanks to a friend’s gentle push, she booked a mammogram. That decision saved her life.
The diagnosis of triple-negative breast cancer was devastating. As a mother of four and grandmother of two, she had no time to dwell on fear. Surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation lay ahead. But living in rural, meant long trips to treatment. The financial and emotional strain is immense.
That’s where kind-hearted people like you made all the difference. Because of generous donations, Tarita had a place to stay at the Cancer Society Lodge, right next to the hospital.
“If the Lodge wasn’t there, my treatment programme wouldn’t have been as successful. I wouldn’t have been able to afford it.”
When the weight of cancer became too much, one simple call to the Cancer Society led to a life-changing resource—support not just for her, but for her husband, too.
This is what your kindness makes possible. A safe haven. A listening ear. A real chance to fight cancer with the best possible support.
But right now, there are more Kiwis like Tarita who need your help.
Will you give a gift today to support New Zealanders facing cancer?
