This Daffodil Day, your support could change everything.
You have the power to help people facing cancer navigate one of the toughest times in their lives. This Daffodil Day, your support is urgently needed to ensure New Zealanders like Amber can access free nursing care, counselling, transport, accommodation, and practical support when they need it most.
At 31, Amber was active, busy, and full of plans for the future. But after months of unexplained symptoms, she received the news no one expects to hear. Cervical cancer.
In an instant, Amber's life changed. What followed was a relentless cycle of chemotherapy, daily radiation, appointments, uncertainty, and fear.
But through some of the hardest moments of her life, Amber wasn't alone.
Week after week, Cancer Society nurse Tracey checked in, listened, reassured, and helped lift some of the emotional weight cancer had placed on Amber and her family. Alongside nursing support, services like transport, accommodation, counselling, and practical assistance help Kiwi cancer patients navigate a journey no one should have to face alone.
"I had no idea how much the Cancer Society actually does. Not until I went through it."
This Daffodil Day, New Zealanders are coming together to stand beside people facing cancer. But we can only provide this vital support with the help of caring people like you.
Every day, around 81 New Zealanders are diagnosed with cancer. That's 81 people, along with their families, friends, and communities whose lives are changed forever.
That's why your support this Daffodil Day matters so much.
Your gift today can help provide:
- Free transport to treatment, so cost isn't a barrier to life-saving care.
- Free expert nursing support and trusted guidance throughout a cancer journey.
- Free accommodation close to treatment for those travelling long distances.
- Free counselling and emotional support during a time when the burden can be overwhelming.
- Life-changing cancer research that brings hope for the future.
Together, we can make sure no one facing cancer has to navigate it alone.
Please donate today and help ensure support is there for every Kiwi who needs it this Daffodil Day.
