Help a strong mother & grandmother pay her large hospital bill

On the 3rd of December 2023 my mother Prabha suffered an unexpected stroke and spent 1 1/2 weeks in Christchurch hospital, and then 6 weeks rehabilitating in Burwood hospital before coming home. She unfortunately had to spend her 80th birthday in bed at Christchurch hospital. Since December she has worked incredibly hard to overcome the effects of the stroke which has left her unable to walk without support and supervision. She has had to learn how to feed herself again and has lost the ability to simple daily tasks like prepare her own food and go to the bathroom by herself.

My mother was born in Fiji and is technically a citizen of the USA, but has no permanent home due to unforeseen circumstances so for many years she bounced between families in Australia, Fiji, and NZ. Since April 2021 she has been living with me on an extended visitor's visa, but I am an NZ citizen and the end goal is for my mum to to be a permanent resident here so she can have some stability and a place to call home.

Because she isn't a permanent resident yet, 3 weeks ago we received an enormous bill for her time spent in hospital, which has totalled $95,365. I have no regrets about getting treatment for my mum as she deserves to continue living a life with some independence, but it has come at a cost that we unfortunately cannot afford alone.

We are asking for any help that people can offer to put towards this huge bill, your generosity will be greatly appreciated by myself and my whole family.
