Update for Use of Funds
23 October 2020We have won our first battle!
On Friday ACC received a new referral from the surgeon, yesterday we received written confirmation they have approved the surgery!
We are relieved beyond doubt and are still in a little bit of shock!
Because of this good news, donations are no longer needed for Sandi's surgery - our first and foremost most important goal is that Sandi's care and needs and support for her family during and after surgery in the 6-8 weeks minimum it will take Sandi to recover is financially covered, she will need 24 hour care, and assistance with any other related costs not covered by ACC.
Sandi's family will all be facing mounting debt from not working to help support Sandi through this time and her recovery, we are facing years of rehabilitation to prevent Sandi becoming permanently wheelchair bound.
If there are any funds left over these will go towards the legal fees. Our ultimate goal by taking this matter to court is to put in place new standards to safeguard this happening to any other New Zealander. We have made initial contact with a law firm in Wellington and received an application pack and have plans for future legal action.
Sandi thanks you on behalf of The Field/ Fenwick families for your amazing, loving overwhelming support from all the families, friends, strangers and new friends that have supported us, we couldn't have done it without you.
