Cancer is one of the most frightening diseases to face in our current time. Having it once can be devastating and many are not fortunate enough to survive. Imagine having a life threatening disease not for the second or even third time but for a FOURTH time.

Sandie, my mom, is facing her fourth of such encounters and she needs your help.

$2000 will cover her most important medications. At the moment there are days where there is not medication and the pain she endures during those days is terrible.


HER HISTORY WITH THE DISEASE

At age 20 she narrowly escaped Hodgkin’s disease (Cancer of the lymphatic system), at age 37 Liver Disease became a result of the radiation therapy she underwent at age 20. At age 47 her body was overcome yet again by Leukaemia, by which time she was unable to have any Chemo or radiation as her body had become too weak to protect her against the side effects. Sandie is currently fighting stage 3 Breast Cancer and is unable once again to get physician treatment.

During her battle with Leukaemia, Sandie was able to improve and beat the disease using only natural medicines. This is currently her only source of relief from pain and the medication is definitely assisting in shrinking the tumour. At the time of discovering the cancer she had tumours in both breasts but through the use of Seven Point Five ( www.sevenpointfive.com) medication the tumour in her left breast disappeared completely. Her right breast tumour has not been responding to her current doses of medication as there have been no funds to maintain the required amount. Sandie has been unable to work since Sept 2013 as moving her right arm had become painful. Simple tasks like washing a dish, sweeping her room, cooking a meal and even ironing an item of clothing has become very difficult for her.

The reason for the campaign is to reach out to the world to share her story ( www.therisingsunset.co.za/autobiography/ ) and to also appeal to those who are willing and able to assist financially in ensuring she maintains the correct medication doses she requires to continue shrinking the tumour. The last few months her medication supplies have dropped drastically and we as a family have not been able to keep up with her needs.

She is a fighter and a strong woman who is always smiling even in the face of death. Please join my family and I in lifting her up during this scary and trying time in her life. Your contribution will make a difference no matter how small. Please keep her in your prayers as well. Thank you!

Thus the drive has slowed of late. I have also had to extend our end date to christmas in hopes that we can raise enough for medication by then. Please don't give up on us, we need every share and donation. There is an option once you select the paypal

Out of the hearts of children!

Update posted by Kari anne Riddin at 07:47 am

Today I was approached by our 9 year old neighbour who had read about our campaign in our local newspaper - Wandile Ndwandwe. He had taken out of his own wallet a R20 (approx $1.43.) and asked me to put it towards the medication. The lump in my throat at

We need your help!

Update posted by Kari anne Riddin at 10:24 am

With 81 days to go we have hit a bit of a plateau in donations. We will however prevail as every donation is going to change this life. For a sacrifice as little as a loaf of bread or a 2 litre cooldrink you could donate $1 (R14.34 at present. . . . .

Second Goal - $200 by Sunday 7 September 2016!

Update posted by Kari anne Riddin at 07:51 am

Still sitting at $115, rather upsetting to know over 1200 people have viewed this campaign and less than 1% have contributed even just $1. (R14.41 ZAR) No Paypal acc necessary to donate. Lets get behind this campaign, we cannot allow finances to hinder healing. We will not give up!!!

96 Days to go - slow beginnings

Update posted by Kari anne Riddin at 07:57 am

With 96 days to go we have had a rather slow start and are feeling a touch bit nervous as the days pass. Yesterday my mom was out of medication again and someone generously donated towards more which she will hopefully get today as without them it becomes really painful. . . . .
