Help our mum get back on her feet.

After being in the hospital for a week straight and a surgery waitlist looking long, we're considering private surgery as an option.

Northland

On the 30th of January, we heard crying, laboured breathing and gasps of sharp pain. Roanne, our mother of 62, was in such pain that responding to anything else was difficult. She is currently in the hospital awaiting spinal surgery.

Roanne has done so much for the people around her, not just as a single mother of three, but as a caretaker, a tutor, and a cleaner. Her kindness, her indomitable spirit has been inspiring to those around her. Now, it's our turn to return the favour, and help her in her most vulnerable.

Anything you can give to help us cover any expenses that aren't covered by ACC would mean the world, as you would be getting a wonderful and caring individual back on their feet.
