Your support today can make a world of difference to people like Paula

For Paula, a beloved teacher and dedicated mother of three, life took a sudden turn last October. After years of giving her all to her students and community, Paula was diagnosed with stage four bladder cancer.

.

After her diagnosis of stage four bladder cancer, Paula faced an uncertain future. But with the help of the Cancer Society, she's found the strength to plan for the road ahead.

One resource that made a significant impact was Life, Happiness, and Cancer by Phil Kerslake, a free book given to Paula from the Cancer Society.

"It helped me realise the importance of having a plan and looking forward to things happening in the future," Paula shared.

And plan she has. Paula is now completing a course with Literacy Aotearoa so she can tutor adults who want to learn to read, passing on her love of learning. She also tutors high school students struggling with NCEA exams, helping them achieve their goals and gain confidence.

By donating today, you can provide vital resources such as free counselling, books, and information packs that help people diagnosed with cancer look forward with hope and strength.

Together, we can make 2025 a year of strength, hope, and connection for all those affected by cancer.
