Help Jasmine Get a Wig During Cancer Treatment

Donation protected
Hi, I am fundraising for my sister, who has an aggressive form of breast cancer. She has had surgery to successfully remove the cancer (yay!) but now has to undergo intensive chemotherapy to ensure it does not come back or attack anywhere else in her body.

We got the news about her cancer 11 months after losing our beloved mum to Stage 4 Ovarian cancer in November 2022. Jasmine lived at home with our mum and acted as her carer as she recovered from her invasive chemo and multiple surgeries. Jas really is such a trooper and has been a rock for me, despite what she is going through!

We could not believe it when she was diagnosed in September and everything has been a bit of a whirlwind since then. As a family, we didn’t expect to go through something like this again so soon after losing our mum. We can only be grateful that is treatable and that she will get better!!

Jasmine graduated from University in July and was so excited to start her new job as a fully qualified physiotherapist at James Cook University Hospital. However, after working for 6 months she has had to take time off to attend numerous hospital appointments, undergo surgery and fertility preservation treatment. She still wants to try and work during treatment if possible and if she feels able to. With this, having a head full of hair (a lovely wig!) would be amazing to try and make her feel as ‘normal’ as can be during such a difficult time.

After having mastectomy surgery in November, she will start chemotherapy next week and will lose her long hair. Being a woman in her 20s, her hair is such a big part of who she is and an integral part of making her feel good about herself, giving her some confidence! Losing it is something she is extremely anxious about and I want to try and alleviate some of that, if I can, in some way!
