Loving mother/Grandmother in need of dental care ahead of knee surgery.

Hawke's Bay

My mother has Osteo arthritis in her knee and has had trouble over the last few years with Acc and having to give up work. She has finally been put on the waiting list for surgery on her knee but does not have the funds to fix her teeth before the surgery can be carried out. I would like to help her because she is constantly putting everyone else's needs before her own and is just generally a wonderful person who deserves to have something done for her. She is always in pain and has trouble getting about without her crutches or some other sort of support but it doesn't stop her running around after everyone else and helping them out. My mother really needs this surgery and if I had the funds myself I would help her but unfortunately I don't so it would mean the world to both my mother and I, especially my mother, if someone could help her get this done.

Kim Butler's involvement (page creator)

She's my mother and over the last few years she has had a lot of trouble with arthritis in her knee, she's had to give up work and battle with Acc and when they finally put her on the list she now finds out she has to get her teeth done too. She's a lovely, kind hearted person and I would just like to do this because she has helped me and so many others, shes helped me by raising my eldest daughter. She runs a cake guild even though she is in constant pain. I would just like to do something, anything I can to help her get the help she deserves.
