Help Mandy Fight Stage 4 Bone Cancer

Donation protected
My name is Danielle, and I’m writing on behalf of my sister and best friend, Mandy. I need to share her story because she needs your help now more than ever.

Mandy is the kind of person who dedicates her life to others. She’s worked for a few years driving the elderly to do their shopping—always patient, always kind. But one day at work, something unexpected happened. Mandy broke two ribs just pulling up the handbrake of a minivan.

We thought it was just a freak accident. But it wasn’t.

After countless tests, we received the devastating news: Mandy has Stage 4 bone cancer. The breast cancer she fought and beat years ago had silently metastasised to her bones.

Her oncologist has given her only a few years to live. For those of us who know and love Mandy, that’s not acceptable.

But there’s hope.

After exhausting all treatment options here in Australia, we discovered Verita Life, a groundbreaking cancer treatment clinic in Thailand. They offer integrative cancer treatments tailored to Mandy’s specific needs, combining advanced therapies like immunotherapy, targeted treatments, and holistic support to not only fight the cancer but to strengthen Mandy’s immune system and give her the best possible chance at survival.

This isn’t something available to Mandy here in Australia. Verita Life has had success stories from patients who had no options left—and we believe Mandy can be one of those stories.

Why Thailand? Why Verita Life?
This isn’t just another round of chemotherapy. Verita Life’s innovative approach treats Mandy as a whole person, not just her cancer. Their therapies can shrink tumors, reduce pain, and improve her quality of life while helping her body heal itself. It’s her best shot at turning this diagnosis around.

But this opportunity comes at a cost.
The treatment costs $11,000 per week, and Mandy needs at least 5 weeks of care—totaling $55,000. It’s an amount we can’t cover alone, but we can’t let money be the reason Mandy doesn’t get this chance.

We lost our mother to cancer 33 years ago. The thought of Mandy enduring another grueling round of ineffective treatment, only to face the same outcome, is unbearable. Verita Life gives us hope.

How You Can Help
Every dollar brings Mandy closer to this life-saving treatment. Every donation, every share, every act of kindness matters.

“To know Mandy is to love her.”
She’s the sister who’s always there, the friend who lifts others up, and the heart of our family. Please help us give her the chance to keep fighting, to beat the odds, and to live the life she so deeply deserves.
