Help Danielle’s Lipoedema Journey

Danielle is a 25-year-old mother, who has been living with a rare disease known as Lipoedema. Lipoedema is a chronic progressive inflammatory fat disease, caused when inflamed tissues accumulate under the skin and progress into all areas of the body. Danielle has tried multiple public and private approaches in the New Zealand health care system, yet has been declined any help. She is currently at stage 3 of the disease and has restricted mobility, and suffers the physical and psychological burden of this disease daily, with constant swollen, heavy and achy legs and arms. Fortunately, Danielle is a patient of 'Lipoedema surgical solutions' in Queensland, Australia who specialises in this disease. She had her first successful extraction surgery last year in November, and we as a family are raising funds for her next four surgeries overseas, followed by her manual lymphatic drainage treatment.
