Help Me Get to Thailand for Life-Changing Surgery

$10 of $100,000 goal
Given by 1 generous donor in around 5 months

"Raising funds for loose skin removal surgery in Thailand. Healing my body, mind & confidence. Grateful for any support.

Auckland

Kia ora, my name is Anahera Tauariki.

I'm a proud Māori woman from Auckland, New Zealand, and I’m raising funds to travel to Thailand in November 2025 for cosmetic plastic surgery at Kasemrad Hospital, along with a 21-night post-op recovery stay at The Residence on Thong Lo, a 4-star hotel partnered with the hospital.

This journey means everything to me — not only to remove loose skin after years of hard work but also to reshape my body in a way that feels more feminine, confident, and aligned with who I truly am. It's about healing, empowerment, and self-love.

The full cost of surgery is $64,896 NZD, and the hotel recovery package is $3,090 NZD. I also hope to fly return with either Air New Zealand or Singapore Airlines to make the long flight more comfortable.

I’ve started a YouTube channel called WhywhyAna Fitness to document my health, fitness, and recovery journey. My goal is to reach 1,000 subscribers to help share this experience with others who may be on a similar path.

Any donation, advice, or share is deeply appreciated. Your support means the world and brings me one step closer to this life-changing goal.

Ngā mihi nui – thank you so much.

Arohanui,

Anahera Tauariki

Life changing surgery in Thailand   28 July 2025

Hi is there anybody out there who can help me? I’m trying to fund my trip to Thailand for a much-needed surgery and 21-night stay. My pockets are empty, but I’m full of hope.

I go live daily, sharing my journey. I’ve started two YouTube channels: 🎥 WhywhyAna’s Fitness – documenting my health journey

🐶 WhywhyAna’s Dog Channel – sharing my love for animals

I’m trying to reach 1,000 subscribers so I can go live and hopefully start making a little income on the side. I’m just a small content creator from Aotearoa, learning as I go, winging it with passion. Any advice, support, or encouragement is appreciated.

I’ve also started a Give A Little page to help fund my trip and surgery. If anyone is able to sponsor or donate, I’d be so grateful. Every share, like, comment, or dollar makes a difference.

Thank you so much to everyone supporting me on this journey. It means everything. 🙏💕
