Hip is falling apart, need new one

  • I need money for basic needs

      24 October 2024

    Dear Friends,

    Thank you for all your help and support. I decided to focus on my studies and earn surgery money that way - thru hard work and education. Therefore, I would like to close my page. I want to use your wonderful donations towards getting ahead with my studies. I really need gasoline money and basic needs money to pull it off. Everything going towards getting ahead and earning surgery money so I can enjoy life. I really want to succeed. I want to find a girlfriend. I can't be alone for so long. I miss good life so much. That hip made me so lonely. Doing everything I can to get it sorted. Thank you! Love you all!

    Given the change in circumstances, if you'd like to request a refund, please get in touch with Givealittle at helpdesk@givealittle.co.nz by Wednesday, November 6th.

  • Prices are up again

      11 October 2024

    Just bought couple items at local four square - condense milk and tomatoes. Everything cost exactly one dollar more than last week. Just like that. Benefit became even few dollars lower coz I needed gas money to drive to x-ray. F..k this economy. Just put me down already. I can't survive in this horrible World

  • Not asking for help anymore

      10 October 2024

    I closed my page. It outraged Raglan community. Amount of hatred and rage I received I unbelievable. I will use funds for medical care. There is no help available. I have to get used to carry on my life like that without hip. Public funding is a myth. No help at all, not even a reply.

    I sincerely regret that I asked for help. Now I came to the full acceptance that no one gives a rats ass about me. Sometimes I forget how cruel society is. I will keep donating tho. I feel for other people. I see how there are so many who struggle way more than me

  • I don't think that there is any help available at all

      6 October 2024

    Looks like no help available at all. I have no clue how to carry on living like that. Every day my World is getting smaller and smaller.

    I don't have anyone to help. I want my health back so I can earn something and have some dignity. It's extremely cruel place. I can't stay home alone for so long. I feel like my body is becoming my prison

  • So bored!

      5 October 2024

    Saturday night, and I am too unwell to go anywhere. So lame. I want new hip so I can go places and enjoy life. It's my prime age and I can't earn anything or even go anywhere or meet anyone. Feel hopeless

  • No news from public funding

      5 October 2024

    Hi Guys,

    No news at all. It's like public funding people never received anything from doctor. I don't think public funding is real.

    I sold most of my possessions.

    I dream about going back to work. I miss earning money. Not long until I have to start begging for coins.

    I keep asking for help but cost of living crisis doesn't allow anyone to help. Wealthy people don't care. I was told to go ask for help where I come from.

    It's much easier to say bunch of bad things about me then to help me.

    I heard it all yesterday. There were people getting drunk at motel bar. As soon as they saw me, they started taking pictures and saying horrible things about me. I never meant to piss anyone off. I don't even know them. I guess that's what happens if you ask super rich people for help.

    I don't want to die from loneliness and hunger.

    I keep staying home nowadays. I don't hang out at skate park anymore.

    Almost zero chance of getting public funding. Didn't even have appointment yet. I hope I will get some help somehow. Staying positive

    Article says that no help available coz of under-staffing

  • No doctors available either

      17 July 2024

    Doctor said that really want to help. But there are no appointments available. I wish that health system just was honest - there is no help, there are no doctors available, and no public funding available for me either. Horrible to be alone in situation like that. Nobody cares how much I worked or how much taxes I paid. I felt left behind in life

  • Remember me as a bus driver

    Remember me as a bus driver who always helped everyone. I never refused entry to passengers who couldn't pay. I always help elderly and disabled, and everyone else. Funny how society turned their back on me

  • No news, no public funding, no ACC , no nothing

      16 July 2024

    What I am even waiting for? I probably should start thinking how deal with all this horrible pain. Painkillers don't really help much anymore. And it's difficult to get it too, I have to explain every single codeine pill to a doctor. WINZ is not interested in helping me either. How can anyone can get better without money?

    Reality is brutal - there is no help.

  • Don't bash your bus drivers

      8 July 2024

    I drove the whole Raglan for over one year. No one helped me. Despite the fact I always helped everyone

  • I didn't know how public funding works

      8 July 2024

    I didn't get in any list yet! I had no clue! I thought that doctor need to apply and that's it. Not a chance! Apparently I have to wait many months before someone else will see me and decide if I am going into waiting list. So I am not in waiting list. Raglan people got enraged coz I asked for help with surgery.

    I am not on waiting list and I don't get ACC treatment or anything.

    Really need $28k for that hip replacement.

    It hurts so much that I am ready to do anything to make it stop.

    I worked as a bus driver in Raglan for over one year. I always helped everyone. I always drove everyone. Always lowered the bus for elderly. Always waited for everyone to sit down. Now the same people tell me to go back where I come from and look for medical help there

  • Got reply from surgeon

      4 July 2024

    Good Morning Guys,

    I got surgery quote. It's $28k. Looks I will spend many years in agony. It's ok. I had a good life. So driving heavy machinery in NZ for 15, years doesn't count. Now I get to wait for some mystery help from public. I applied for bunion surgery twelve years ago and still waiting. Obviously the same with hip replacement. Luxon said it all - two dollars per hour pay for people like me.

  • Applied everywhere

      25 June 2024

    We applied everywhere. So far got reply from surgeon about appointment. Just waiting now. Surgeon will set appointment date. I asked him to hurry it up coz I am in so much pain. Looks like I have to go private, so definitely will need lots of money. So far people told me - if you can skate, it means you alright and don't need a new hip yet. It's so cruel! I skate so I don't feel so much pain. Doing pump track is really helping to relieve the hip pain. Staying fit and healthy is very helpful for pain management. Not every disability is visible. It takes lots of work before I can go and do anything. Anyway, I need hip replacement urgently. It's last stage of arthritis. Without bunch of meds and exercises - I can't stand or walk. Society is cruel. I ask for help coz I really need it
