Help Claudia With Life Saving Medical Care

Donation protected
This fundraiser is to support Claudia Manchanda, a grandmother, well respected medical herbalist and much loved POC community activist, who is living with metastatic breast cancer.
 
Mainstream medicine deems that this diagnosis has no cure although the disease can be stabilised for years and life prolonged through integrative treatments. Claudia requires funds for regular blood tests, integrative oncologists, supplements/off label drugs, hyperbaric oxygen and IV treatments etc. All integrated treatments chosen have been researched to have good science behind them and Claudia always shares what she has learned since diagnosis 9 years ago, with those who request support.
 
Claudia is a medical herbalist and her aspiration is to have stabilised disease, to enjoy time with her family and to contribute towards an integrative practice for those who cannot afford expensive therapies. Claudia is also passionate about countering all forms of injustice and wants to continue her long term campaigning for all marginalised people and providing free herbalist support to those in need.
 
Claudia would like to thank you for any support you can offer and will post regular updates. She's also more than happy to give back as much support to others going through this scenario.
