As most of you know, Nicola rarely asks for support and is much more the giver than the receiver. It's now time to shower Nic with love and financial support as she navigates a tumultuous healing journey.
Over the years, Nic has remained diligent to her health and wellbeing. However 2022 has been a difficult year with the passing of her beloved Bella, family loss, being side-swiped by a car as a pedestrian, her home being flood affected and dealing with the impact many months later. We’ve seen Nic go through life challenges before and she has always gotten back on her feet with gratitude and resilience, yet it seems it was all too much this time around.
Nic’s scan’s pre flood showed the all clear, however, 6 months later, she is no longer in remission. Her previous diagnosis in 2016 of Ocular Melanoma, a rare and aggressive cancer, has spread (metastasised) from the eye, where it was originally, to the liver with a secondary concern for her lungs. This type of Melanoma works differently from other Melanoma’s/cancers and up until last year, there were no conventional treatments that this type of cancer was responsive to. In June 2021, a new experimental drug was developed and is currently being trialed. Nic will start treatment very soon.
Nic is prepared to do everything in her power to get herself back to full and vibrant health. Along with these treatments, she is following complementary protocols, holistic therapies, and working with Integrative Practitioners, all are out of pocket, and often very expensive.
If you've been touched in some way by Nicola's gorgeous heart and would like to support her, please give if you’re able to (or share this if you feel called to). It is a difficult time to be asking for money however time is of the essence and Nic is ready to start healing NOW!
We will be providing updates along the way so that you can follow her journey and see how your contribution is making an impact in this beautiful being's life.

A message from Nicola -
“To the amazing YOU who is reading this message, thank you for taking the time. In a world where so many need support, I am deeply touched that you are here (through the ethers) with me now.
I am beyond blessed to have the most incredible people, like you, in my life. You who inspire and uplift me, as well as the dear ones who have seen me through my darkest times. Whether you are able to contribute or not, know I am forever grateful for you, and I LOVE YOU!
If we are connecting here for the first time, I am touched by your kindness for someone you have yet to meet. While, I tend to live my life quietly, please know I care immensely for others, and our Earth, and it is my hope to heal, so I may continue to “pay it forward” to others in need.
There are days I laugh, days I cry, and days I do both. From my joy to your joy, from my sorrow to your sorrow, from my heart to your heart. I see you, I feel you, and with much love, journey well ??
