$260 donated
Given by 5 generous donors in 11 weeks

Support Karina to get the treatment and care needed to live with the effects of severe Long Covid.

Wellington

In November 2023, I got Covid. I had already been chronically ill for 10 years, but for the first time things became life-threatening. This year I spent almost 7 months in hospital suffering with the effects of Long Covid.

I am now bedbound and relying on caretakers and the kindness of others to survive. I have been diagnosed with Severe M.E, MCAS, POTS and Nutcracker syndrome. The effects of these mean I am unable to work to support myself.

I desperately need help to access the private care/treatments that will give me a chance to continue eating, improve my condition and hopefully one day get back to living.

Thank you <3
