Adele Baker (AKA Ramsay) and her young family need support!
Adele and her young family need our support as they fight the stage 4 cancer battle ❤️
Papakura, Auckland
Adele has been a friend of mine for 20+ years.
At the young age of 36, with an 17 month old daughter and a 3 month old son, Adele has recently had the shock of her life being diagnosed with the horrible disease we all hate so much - stage 4 cancer (bowel and lymph nodes - braf mutation).
As stubborn and as strong as Adele is (and always has been🙈), her and her beautiful family need some help to relieve the financial pressure they now face as they embark on their healing journey.
With multiple appointments, non funded treatment option discussions, loss of two incomes while Shane, Adele's loving husband, steps up to help at home, anything we can raise will make a huge difference now and in the future.
Unfortunately, only a few months before being diagnosed, Adele cancelled their life insurance policy that they had held for 10 years to try and help relieve financial stress and pay off some debt.
Adele has always been so supportive and giving to others, so now is our time to give back to her❤️
You have got this Adele! 💪

Our lives - From Adele 18 April 2024
In the time it took for a lymph nodes to grow we tried to live our normal lives as having a now 20m (Harper) and 6m (Taylor) is full on. Shane is unable to work as I cannot care for our babies on my own. I have days that I couldn’t lift with my left arm, can’t walk due to back aches, too tired to get up.
We celebrated my 37th bday by spending the morning at the park, afternoon jumping off the harbour bridge with Shane (thanks mum and dad for the gift) Dinner with my parents,good friend Dale,Shane,Harper and Taylor. Best day ever.
Now Harper can say animal names and sounds it was time for our first visit to the zoo. Something I’ve been looking forward to since she was born. Memories I will cherish.
As hard as it is, I’ve had no choice but to come to terms with the fact that it would be a miracle to celebrate my 40th. All I want to do is make my husband and babies lives as easy as possible after I’ve gone. It hurts me more thinking about how much grief and pain they will suffer. I won’t be here to help them through the most difficult times of their lives.
One day my babies will forget about me. They won’t have any memories only videos, stories, photos, letters etc. I will do everything in my power to be here as long as possible in the hopes that they will have their own memory of their biological mum.
