Help fund Carina's life-changing endometriosis surgery.

Wellington

I'm reaching out to ask for your support as I prepare for life-changing endometriosis surgery. Endo is a chronic disease that causes severe pain, fatigue, and other symptoms that affect my daily life. I've spent years trying to get the help I need, but instead of receiving treatment that addresses the underlying disease, I've been offered temporary solutions focused on managing my symptoms. My pain has continued to worsen and is now having a significant impact on my quality of life and overall wellbeing. I've reached a point where surgery has become my best chance at living pain free.

To receive the specialist care I need, I will be travelling from New Zealand to Mexico to undergo excision surgery with the renowned specialists at EndoGlobal Group. Their multidisciplinary team follows internationally recognised best-practice surgical protocols for endometriosis and offers a level of specialised care that is simply not available to me in New Zealand. This gives me the best chance for a successful outcome and long-term relief.

The cost of accessing this care overseas is significant. Your support will go towards the costs of surgery, international flights, accommodation, and recovery expenses.

Getting surgery overseas is not a choice I made lightly but I believe it will give me my best chance at getting my health back and living life fully again. Thank you for taking the time to read my story. Whether you choose to donate or share my page, your support means the world to me.

Use of funds

All the money I raise will go towards costs of surgery, international flights, accommodation, and recovery expenses.

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
