Peak Hill residents, Patrick and Denise Furner in happier times.
Local Peak Hill woman, Denise Furner is in desperate need of your help. In an unfortunate twist-of-fate, both Denise and her husband Patrick are currently battling cancer.
Recently the struggle facing this local family became even more desperate when Denise suffered a bleed on her brain. She was rushed to hospital where she underwent emergency surgery to save her life.
As Denise’s family anxiously awaited the outcome of the surgery, they held onto hope and recalled her words to them that she “was not ready to go.”
Denise came through the surgery but still has a long and hard road ahead of her.
Denise’s daughter Kirsti Furner told the Forbes & Parkes Phoenix, “Mum is going to need full-time care, will be wheelchair bound, require hoist transfers and personal care assistance.”
“Through all of this, mum is still suffering from cancer and we are hoping she will be able to continue her chemotherapy,” said Kirsti.
A Go Fund Me Page has been set up to assist with ongoing medical expenses, transport and equipment that will be needed for Denise’s recovery.
“We will be forever grateful from the bottom of our hearts for any assistance. We thank you for supporting our mum,” said Kirsti.
