Help us end Laura's 7 years battling ill health

In 2018, at just 17 years of age, Laura went solo travelling. Just a couple of months into her travels she ended up in a hospital in Bali severely sick with Salmonella poisoning, at least that was the diagnosis at the time. Unable to recover enough to continue her travels, Laura returned home to NZ.

That was the beginning of a health nightmare that our poor girl has been battling for almost 7 years now. She has since learnt that she also contracted Ross River virus (a blood-borne disease) and Lyme Disease during her short time travelling. No wonder she has been so sick!... severe nausea, shaking, digestive issues, circulation issues, arthritic joint pain, fevers and night sweats, sinus issues, TMJ pain, chronic fatigue... you name it, it's likely been a part of Laura's struggle these past few years (and she's just 24 years old).

Thankfully she has been under the care of her wonderful doctor, Jules, who has herself, recovered from chronic Lyme Disease. Jules did this by travelling to a German hospital (Clinicum St. Georg) that specialises in treating chronic Lymes using both Western and integrative medicine approaches. The chance of this being a successful cure for Laura is high! So it's a no-brainer, we're sending her to Germany in April. It is, as you can imagine, a very costly venture, something she and her fiance could not possibly fund themselves. Hence starting this Givealittle fund 💜
