Help Rin access the treatments needed to live again

Wellington

In November 2023, I got Covid. I had already been chronically ill for 10 years, but for the first time things became life-threatening.

I have been bedbound in hospital for over 6 months, struggling with the effects of Long Covid. I have been diagnosed with Severe M.E, MCAS, POTS and Nutcracker syndrome.

I am currently reacting to all foods, and no meds are helping. I am not well enough to be discharged, but am being sent home anyway.

These conditions have left me barely able to eat anything or care for myself, and without privately funded treatment and support, I’m likely to keep declining.

I desperately need help to access the private care/treatments that will give me a chance to survive.

Thank you <3

Use of funds

Funds will go towards -

-Unfunded medications (For MCAS primarily)

-Private Dr appointments (Specialists & tests)

-Specialised nutritional supplements (To eat daily!)

-Accessibility in my daily care (If there’s anything left)

Thank you  17 September 2025

Now that I am out of hospital, I will be focusing on getting the treatment needed to hopefully stabilise my condition. So I have opened a new page to be current.

Thank you for all of your support. Thanks to you, I made it through the worst of it.
