Charlie urgently needs life saving surgery in Germany! Please help get her life back by helping to raise funds!

Charlie urgently needs a life-saving surgery that is not available in NZ.

She cannot eat or drink and suffers from severe vomiting, debilitating pain, and other horrific symptoms everyday.

She has Gastroparesis, POTS, Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, and multiple Vascular Compressions Syndromes, including AVCS, SMAS, MALS, May Thurner Syndrome and severe Nutcracker Syndrome. These are life-threatening illnesses and her health is declining rapidly.

Vascular surgeons in NZ agree that Charlie needs surgery ASAP. This complex and specialized surgery is currently only available in Germany. Without this surgery Charlie will die.

Charlie is in and out of hospital constantly, staying for long admissions and having countless procedures and surgeries. The NZ health system has let her down over and over again so she is having to travel to Hamilton every week for specialist treatment.

She is suffering from serious malnutrition, dehydration, deficiencies, and critically low electrolyte imbalances due to her inability to keep any food/water down.

She has recently had a Hickman line surgery (a tube that is placed into one of her major blood vessels and runs directly through her heart) as a means of receiving hydration and medications.

The surgeon in Germany is confident that his surgery will reverse her Vascular Compressions Syndromes and enable Charlie to eat and drink again.

Help us fundraise to get Charlie overseas and save her life. We would greatly appreciate any support.
