Help my Lulu get the help she deserves!

My girl Olivia who is 10 had an official diagnosis of ADHD-inattentive under the public health system, this diagnosis took FOUR years!

There is query (highly likely) we have SPD(sensory processing disorder) ASD (autism spectrum disorder) and PDA (pathological demand avoidance).

Right now CAMHS (child adolescent mental health services) discharged us and referred onto pediatrics where We were told the Wait is up to 1 year, despite referrals from GP, letter of support by social workers, me ringing desperate, we are triaged NON URGENT!!!

Our system is severely broken, under resourced and stretched out beyond capabilities. Devastatingly an ADHD diagnosis alone constitutes no physical support or funding, but with an ASD diagnosis there is ample support and funding for respite, sensory equipment and much much more!

My girls is struggling severely she herself is becoming broken and spiraling, as a mum I feel helpless and devastated for her, I am fighting so hard and hitting a brick wall every time!!

Our last resort is to go private, with this comes HUGE costs. I'm on 1 income living week to week, I cannot get loans and I have no family to help financially nor hold anything of value, I have tried!

I'm desperate to get my girl the help she needs so here I am asking the people of NZ and worldwide for their warming generosity to help fundraise the cost to get my daughter seen by one of NZ leading pediatricians Dr Garth Smith.

Every little bit helps! Please 🙏 and THANKYOU
