Hi everyone,

I’m reaching out with love and hope to ask for your support for my half-sister Delwyn te Pana, who is facing an incredibly tough time right now. She is living with multiple serious health conditions — including arthritis, sciatica, diabetes, and the aftermath of a stroke — and has now been diagnosed with three tumours that require urgent attention.

These ongoing medical challenges have placed a huge strain on her physically, emotionally, and financially. She’s doing her best to stay strong, but the costs involved are becoming overwhelming.

We're aiming to raise $3,000 to help cover essential costs like treatment, travel, and daily living expenses. If we can reach our stretch goal of $5,000, it will also help her afford a reliable used car so a loved one can drive her to and from appointments safely.

Every dollar raised will go directly to helping her access the critical care she needs to manage her conditions and give her the best possible chance at healing. If you’re able to donate, no matter how big or small, it would mean the world.

What Your Donation Can Do

$1

– A small snack after treatment

– A packet of tissues for hospital visits

$5

– Lip balm to soothe chemo-related dry lips

– A pain relief pack (e.g. Panadol)

$10

– One day of hospital parking

– A microwave meal for rest and recovery days

$20

– Two healthy pre-prepared meals

– A heat pack for muscle or joint pain

$40

– A week’s worth of groceries for light meals

– A soft beanie or headscarf for warmth and comfort

$50

– A week’s supply of essential medications

– A full home clean to support rest and hygiene

$100

– One night’s accommodation near the treatment centre

– A care package of food, clothing, and comfort items

$200

– Two nights of accommodation with food and parking

– A week of help with bills and transport to treatment

As we hit each $500 milestone, we'll post updates showing exactly how your donations are helping — whether it’s a week of groceries, medication, a tank of fuel for hospital trips, or saving up toward a reliable car. Your support means more than you know, and we want you to see the difference you’re making.

Whether you can give a little or a lot, you’re helping to ease the pressure on Delwyn and giving her the space to focus on healing. If you can’t donate right now, simply sharing this page can make a big difference.

Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and support during this difficult time.

With gratitude,

Star Shing-Kelly
