Help Raise Funds for an ADHD diagnosis

$695 of $660 goal
Given by 26 generous donors in 15 days

This is a fundraiser to help someone get mental health assistance for suspected ADHD.

Nationwide

ADHD care in New Zealand in the public healthcare system is currently inaccessible with wait times of up to two years.

I am trying to raise funds for a beneficiary who has no means of accessing funding for a diagnosis.

The lack of diagnosis can cause serious problems - this person has a referral from their doctor but cannot afford the fees.

I also have another page here: https://givealittle.co.nz/cause/help-rory-become-an-internationally-certified-adhd

Use of funds

All money will be used for their diagnosis and to pay for a one off medication adjustment if that is needed. If this is not needed money will be donated to the ADHD New Zealand organisation.

Latest update

Still awaiting an appointment.  13 September 2021

ADHD care is unfortunately quite terrible in New Zealand. The appointment for September has just been moved back to November. The invoice has already been pre-paid. I wrote to the Health Minister to raise a complaint, and the reply stated a review of the health system was underway already and nothing further could be done. I will let you know as soon as they have their appointment.
