Fundraising for Lou at Dr.Morse to cover the cost of her Laminectomy Surgery.

Wellington

If you've visited us at Dr Morse lately, you may have noticed our amazing shop manager, Lou, getting about with a fabulous sparkly pink cane. Her stunning look belies a more serious underlying health situation. Louise desperately needed back surgery. (Laminectomy)

Louise has Bertolotti's syndrome and herniated disc in L4/5 means that she was currently suffering with chronic pain and unable to carry out regular life/work duties. The good news is, surgery can fix this for her. The bad news is, it costs a bunch and is prohibitively expensive. ( 30k)

We, her buddies at Dr Morse, have got her back (pun intended!). We love her heaps, and want her healthy, pain-free and happy, so we are hoping to help Lou meet the costs of her surgery. We'd love for this to be as successful as possible, and this is how Your Support Can Help:

Your donations will directly contribute to alleviating Louises’s financial strain. With your generosity, we can ensure that they can fully focus on their recovery without the additional worry of medical debts. Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a significant difference and will be deeply appreciated.

We are also going to running a FLASH DAY EVENT some time soon so keep your eyes peeled. Dr Morse will be posting flash available on the day - stay tuned for date/time/. We are looking forward to creating awesome art and doing what we do best, to help our amazing friend in need. Thank you all for your kindness :-)

Love
