Only Fighters for Irie Jade is a community fundraiser created to support Irie Jade and her whānau through an ongoing childhood leukaemia treatment journey.
At three years old, Irie Jade was diagnosed with B Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. Treatment has meant long periods around Starship Children's Hospital, travel, time away from home and the everyday financial pressure that comes with supporting a child through serious illness.
This collection was created as one practical way for the wider community to help. Proceeds from the merch sold through this page go toward supporting Irie Jade and her whānau through the realities around treatment, including travel, accommodation, kai, clothing and supplies.
Only Fighters brought the fundraiser into a format people could wear, making the support visible while creating another pathway for people to contribute.
For Merchmarket, this collection is a reminder that merch can do more than represent a creator or brand. It can help rally people around a cause and turn community support into something tangible.
