Help Glenda Get Hip Replacement Surgery

$12,770 of $30,000 goal
Given by 26 generous donors in 9 weeks

Please help our dear friend raise the funds to afford much needed hip surgery to restore her quality of life.

Waikato

Glenda is urgently in need of hip surgery as she lives in constant pain. Her condition has deteriorated to the extent that she requires a wheelchair for mobility. The pain does not allow her to sleep at nights and her quality of life is extremely poor.

Her friends and family are concerned at the accelerated deterioration of her health.

Glenda has pituitary gland malfunction which affects her weight therefore she does not fit the public criteria for surgery. The only option left for her, is to pay for private surgery.

Through her community Glenda has provided pastoral care and supported many people over the years. We hope that this ‘Give a Little’ page will provide an opportunity for Glenda to now be supported in her quest for surgery.

Use of funds
