She’s fighting pain every day to raise her kids. Help this strong mum get life-changing surgery and a chance at a normal life.
Dunedin, Otago
Hi, my name is Danni, and I’m a single mum doing my best to raise two beautiful children, ages 6 and 12. I’ve been diagnosed with both endometriosis and adenomyosis, and I live with chronic, debilitating pain every single day.
These conditions have affected every part of my life. I’ve had to reduce my work hours just to cope, which makes it hard to support my family. I often can’t get out of bed, and even simple activities like playing with my kids or cooking dinner become impossible. My 12-year-old has had to step up far beyond her years, helping care for her younger sibling and me on the tough days. It breaks my heart to see the impact this has on them.
I need a hysterectomy to finally get relief and begin a new chapter, pain-free. Unfortunately, the public system is slow, and private surgery—costing between $14,000 and $25,000—is my only real option. I don’t qualify for private health coverage due to this being a pre-existing condition.
I’ve tried to manage without relying on heavy medications, but the pain is becoming too much. I don’t want my children to keep seeing me like this. I want to be the healthy, active mum they deserve—and return to full-time work to give them a better life.
If you can donate or share my story, you’ll be helping me take the first step toward healing—for myself, and for my kids. Every bit of support means the world to us.
Thank you so much.
Danni
