Generous Kiwis have donated more than $100,000 in 24 hours as they rush to support two young Christchurch girls whose parents died from cancer within the same week.
Nigel and Marjan Joyce died from brain and breast cancer respectively in recent days, leaving behind two daughters, aged 8 and 4.
A Givealittle page set up by family friend Angela Hawkins had raised $93,000 for the girls by yesterday afternoon.
But after members of the public read about the family’s tragic circumstances, a wave of overnight donations pushed the total raised by the Givealittle page to more than $204,000 by 4pm.
