Hidradenitis suppurativa stage 3 please help my mum and dad

$73 of $50,000 goal
Given by 6 generous donors in 11 weeks

I started this givealittle page for parents as they lost their home/house a few years ago due to health costs and issues.

Nelson / Tasman

***GALLERY WARNING PICTURES CAN BE CONSIDERED GROSS TO SOME***

They are coming up to 27 years of marriage my mum has this horrible condition hidradentits suppurativa as well as fibromyalgia, diabetes,CRPS , depression and PTSD.They have no financial family supports or ways to come up with funds for surgerys for my mum to get her under arms all cut away . My mother even sold her engagement ring to pay for minor surgery,my dad had a head injury 7 years ago and can no longer work he then was attacked by a drug fueled stranger which has set him even more back with his head injury.Before their health issues started they always helped everyone,it may not of been you but I hope and pray people will give back.

HS can have a significant psychological impact, and many patients suffer from anxiety, depression, and impairment of body image

From dermanet for info

There is no cure ,but the cost are unreal ,surgery's at the doctor's every few weeks ,and $6 - $19 per night for dressings ,our hope is to get private surgery to get her arms done ,but there's is no funding for this ,the pain is unreal especially with my mum's other conditions

I'm hoping she can get all her armpits at least totally cut out and does her best to keep chin up please share this near and far thanks
