​Help Dan Get Life-Changing ADR Spinal Surgery to Beat 4 Years of Chronic Nerve Pain

For the past four years, my life has been defined by chronic pain and limitation, often struggling to walk, trapped on heavy pain medications.

I was always the person to help anyone in need, building, mechanical, moving anything heavy. You name it, I was there to help the second anyone asked me. Eventually I have developed multiple lower spine injuries and all those people I had helped went quiet and didn't show up for me.

Disgracefully ACC declined any help. Even after a 2 year battle with them. Now I am left with no option but to ask strangers for help.

The hardest part isn’t the physical pain—it’s the toll it takes on my family. I have two young daughters and some days I can't even stand when they need me. Nobody has come to help and those who said they would, never showed up so on the bright side I got to learn exactly what type of people I was helping for so many years.

After extensive research I have pinned my hopes on Artificial Disc Replacement (ADR). A one and done surgery which will allow me to return to life working as normal and give my children the bright future they deserve instead of them seeing me in pain every day.

To cover all the costs for this operation I hope to raise $60,000. The ADR surgery and medical expenses are unfunded for me by ACC or Health New Zealand/Te Whatu.

If my goal is not met on givealittle any amount raised still helps me get closer to save the total cost to get the operation.

Anything helps me get closer to this goal 🙏
