<div><strong>A crowdfunding campaign for Michelle, a Ngarrindjeri Latvian Australian, battling Non-Hodgkins T-cell Lymphoma, an aggressive Blood Cancer. </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>27.11.2024</strong>
</div>
<div>After one year of undergoing extensive cancer treatment and an autologous (self-donated) stem cell transplant, <strong>Michelle’s Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) has relapsed. </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>She now needs an allogenic (donor) transplant in early 2025 as well as critical daily treatment which is <strong>NOT covered by Medicare. </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Treatment is due to start <em>4 December 2024</em>. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Michelle has shown incredible strength and resilience over the last year, but the mounting costs of treatment, supportive medications, and living expenses are overwhelming. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Here’s some of what she is dealing with: 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li><strong>Azacitidine Treatment</strong>: A vital part of the fight, N<strong>OT yet covered by Medicare </strong>for her lymphoma, but which shows positive remission success as a bridge to transplant, in patients overseas. 
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li><strong>Supportive Medications</strong>: Essential for managing side effects and maintaining strength during treatment, <strong>also NOT covered by Medicare. </strong>
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li><strong>Everyday Expenses</strong>: While balancing work negotiations, accommodation and personal commitments, Michelle is facing other urgent costs like car repairs. 
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To ensure Michelle can access everything she needs without undue financial stress, we’re asking for your support. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every contribution, big or small, will make a difference. Michelle’s haematologist/oncologist says he believes the AITL can be cured, but the road to remission will be difficult with a lengthy recovery ahead. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for standing by Michelle. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>With love and gratitude</strong>

<div>Let’s get behind an extraordinary woman!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Michelle's story</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Michelle is a proud Ngarrindjeri Australian woman, a loving mum and aunty, a respected journalist and broadcaster, and a loyal friend to many.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Michelle was born in Port Augusta in South Australia, with strong family ties right across the state, and spent much of her childhood in Wollongong. Michelle has worked in commercial Australian television and radio, as a public broadcaster with ABC News Radio, executive producer of Living Black Radio with SBS, and NITV as a News presenter.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Her life has been a testament to her resilience and commitment to helping others tell their unique stories to the country. <strong>Michelle’s personal story is now about the toughest battle of her life, and she needs your help!</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Michelle is undergoing rigorous chemotherapy treatments for Non-Hodgkins T-cell Lymphoma and has now embarked on a challenging bone marrow (stem cell) transplant journey, with a lengthy recovery period expected.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>In support of Michelle's fight against Cancer,</strong> we have initiated this crowdfunding campaign to help alleviate the financial burden that accompanies medical treatments like this.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>By donating,</strong> you can offer your support to Michelle.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Your generous contributions</strong> will go towards covering expenses associated with the treatments that Michelle requires during this difficult time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Here are a few ways you can help:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li><strong>Donate:</strong> Any amount, big or small, contributes to Michelle's journey to recovery. Your financial support will have a meaningful impact on her ability to focus on healing.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li><strong>Share the Campaign:</strong> Spread the word far and wide! Share this campaign on your social media platforms, email, and other networks to help us reach as many hearts as possible.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your kindness and generosity will not only assist Michelle greatly but will also reaffirm the strength of community, compassion, solidarity, and the spirit of unity and respect that Michelle has championed throughout her life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for being a part of Michelle's support network! ♥️
