May 25th, 2024Can you help Claire?

Daylesford resident Natasha Morgan is sharing a Go Fund Me page for her friend Claire Spencer, who has been diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer.

“Claire is a mum at my kid’s tiny school and the breadwinner in her family. She’s a member of my community and an incredible human,” Natasha said.

“In 2019 Claire was diagnosed with cervical cancer and managed to overcome it, that’s until very recently when amidst a host of health complications she found out the cancer is back – this time though it’s metastasised and it’s Stage 4 with masses in her stomach.

“Claire desperately needs help and I’m hoping you might be able to spare some change as part of a Go Fund Me page that’s been set up for her. Any amount whether it’s $2 or $20 will make a difference and will be so appreciated.”

On her page, Claire wrote on May 15 that she had been released me from hospital and “got my first night’s sleep in my own bed in over a week – Heaven!”.

“I’ve got about 10 days before treatment starts, and I’m just focusing on rest. Today the palliative care team called me. They discuss things like chronic pain management, financial support and physical aids.

“Looks like I’ll be getting some kind of walker to help me plod along further than three metres at a time. Being a creative at heart, I’m trying to work out whether to yarn bomb the shit out of it, or bedazzle it. It cannot look like an old person’s zimmerframe. Nope. No. Not today or ever.

“Each hour I’m humbled by your generosity, and just know it’s allowing me to rest without panic or fear. I’m so thankful. Each day is truly a miracle. Big love.”
