Relief for Robin

Hello all, 

We are urgently reaching out to the public. 

Robin now 17 years old , since being diagnosed in May 2022 having to relocate 4 hours from her home for treatment, Robin has bravely and courageously endured the grueling golden standard treatment protocols for Osteosarcoma. Robin had her first chemo infusion for her 16th birthday while undergoing chemotheraphy , her cancer metastasized to her lungs she has undergone limb sparing surgery , a metastasectomy on each lung, as well as 15 minutes a day of radiation for 20 days.

Unfortunately Robins CT scan on the 19th of October 2023 has revealed multiple new lesions larger ones as well. Sadly Robin’s genetic make up of cancer cells is highly resistant to chemo therapy treatment. Southern Oncology as well as her head oncologist at Groote schuur hospital have advised a drug called Strivarga, to slow down the growth of these lesions which comes with a hefty price tag of R56 000 per month. We have reached out to the manufacturer of this drug to no avail they declined to assist as well as numerous cancer organizations. 

We are now left with depending on the kindness and support of the public. Please help us share and raise the funds for this drug to extend Robins fight with this beast.

Even if you can't donate we ask that you please share this link far and wide to spread our reach as as it is dire we get Robin on Strivarga as soon as possible. 

We thank you with our whole hearts
