Mana for Nana

Friends, family, and compassionate supporters,

Today, we ask with a heartfelt plea to support our dear Friend, Mother, and Community Leader - Nāna a.k.a Berne-Lee Edwards, in her inspiring journey of battling cancer.

Nāna has not only been a shining light in our lives but also an unwavering champion of the Māori community in Victoria.

Now, it's our turn to rally around her as she faces this next challenge.

Nāna has always been there for our community a true representation of compassion and service. She has dedicated her time in Naarm, Melbourne, to making a positive impact within our community. Whether it's organizing charitable events, mentoring aspiring individuals, or extending a helping hand to those in need, she has always led by example. However, cancer has now come back to throw her an unexpected curveball again, demanding her utmost resilience and strength.

At this critical juncture, Nāna urgently requires a life-changing surgery that will pave the way for her recovery. We have the opportunity to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with her, ensuring she receives the best possible care and support. Together, we can "carve up cancer" and write a remarkable chapter in Nāna's story of courage and triumph.

With your generous contributions, we aim to raise the necessary funds (35k) to cover the costs of Nāna's surgery. By doing so, we relieve her and her family of this overwhelming financial burden This will allow Naana to focus on what she does best – spreading love, kindness, and Good Juju throughout our community.

Each donation, regardless of size, brings us one step closer to our shared goal of empowering Nāna to overcome breast cancer. The funds raised will not only support the surgical procedure but also encompass the expenses related to medications, post-operative care, and any unforeseen medical needs that may arise.

Nāna's journey is a testament to her unwavering commitment to community work, and it is our privilege to support her during this challenging time. Let's stand together, united in our determination to make a difference. Your support, be it through donations or by sharing this fundraiser widely, or by attending upcoming fundraisers, will not only uplift Nāna but also inspire countless others in our community.

Today, we invite you to make a donation and extend Nāna the support she so deeply deserves. Together, we can carve up cancer and continue to foster the spirit of community that Nāna holds dear. Let her journey be a shining example of resilience and hope for all those who face their own battles.

From the depths of our hearts, we express our gratitude for your love, compassion, and generosity. Thank you for being part of Nāna's story of triumph and for strengthening the very essence of our community.

With hope and gratitude,

By the Mana for Nana Crew
