The Ferris Girls needs our help! Together we can eliminate their financial stress so this amazing family can focus on getting G well again.

Nelson / Tasman

On Dec 17th, Georgia Ferris underwent surgery that was meant to give relief from 2 years of suffering from a very rare condition. Georgia and her family were beyond relieved to have a plan and to have hope for a better 2015. And the best part was they would home in time for Christmas.

But Georgia couldn't go home. Her condition worsened over the days that came after the surgery and she was finally rushed in for emergency surgery. The original surgery had not gone to plan and now she has a much bigger recovery. They still have no idea when they can expect her home. And as of yet, the surgery still hasn't given the relief they were hoping for.

Georgia's Mum and twin sister have been by her side everyday. Their focus has been completely on Georgia and they desperately want to see her well and back home.

In the meantime, life goes on, and so do the expenses of running a household. In order to keep Robyn (Mum) and Livvie (sister) by Georgia's side focused on her recovery, we want to raise a little extra cash so that the family can focus on wellness and not worry about the bills! Due to Georgia's condition, Robyn has had to stop working and money has become another stressor on the family.

Together we can raise a bit of money and make sure that this beautiful family can keep their rental apartment for when they return and their pets well fed. Together we can give a little help to Georgia and her family and a little hope for that better 2015 they've been dreaming of!

Georgia's resilience inspires me to take my own ongoing health challenges in my stride and keep giving back to others.

I love these girls!
