This is to help me cover the cost of a ramp onto my property
Dunedin, Otago
Hello, my name is Michelle Seidelin, I am a 65-year-old pensioner.
I have created this page to help me with funding to get a ramp added to my property for me to leave my home without support. I am housebound without someone’s help to get out of the house, who would be my home support.
I am currently waiting to try cortisone injections to see if it helps me to deal with the pain. The specialist said I am a high risk for hip replacement surgery.
If the cortisone injections do not work, then a hip replacement will be considered. The waiting list for this is around five years through the public hospital. If I need to get the hip replacement there will be ongoing costs afterwards, e.g., doctors, physio, extra support etc. It would take a long time to recover, and I would need a lot more support than what is allocated to me at this point.
PS, please note give a little take 5% of each donation. For example, if you gave $21, I would get $20
Whatever money I do receive would be used towards the Hip replacement surgery. I have been putting aside what money I am able to from my pension to help with the cost of the surgery too.
I am trying to get a ramp put in my house as well.
New amount 29 July 2022
I have lowered the amount I am asking for because it looks like I will not need a hip replacement through private means
Thank you for your kind donation. It will help me with getting a ramp or possible hip replacement with not being able to get out of this house. I think the ramp is the first thing. Thank you again
