Leukaemia & Blood Cancer New Zealand

  • COVID-19 Emergency Appeal

      24 April 2020

    In light of COVID-19, the team here at LBC have been working round-the-clock to change the way we deliver essential services to ensure we can continue to support blood cancer patients and families safely.

    Life-saving treatments like chemotherapy are continuing and we’re ramping up support for patients and families.

    We’re increasing the help we give to the most vulnerable patients by keeping in close contact by phone, text and online.

    We’re providing emergency financial support

    to people who are really struggling with the basics like nutritious food, help with transport to treatments and parking costs at hospital.

    We’ve helped blood cancer patients get access to preferential grocery shopping delivery services.

    We’ve moved support groups online, and are running regular Q & A sessions for patients with haematologists and other health specialists.

    If you, or someone you know, need support please call 0800 15 10 15 or email info@leukaemia.org.nz – we’re here to help.
