A chance at a new life worth living

Christchurch, Canterbury

Back in August 2022 I underwent a simple surgery to have a hysterectomy to finally live pain free, well that lasted for all of 5 mins. After my operation I was in constant pain having no idea why or how. I got to the stage I had ended up in the emergency room at the hospital over 8 times in 6 months. Finally after waiting almost a year I was diagnosed with osteitis pubis which is basically arthritis in my pelvic bones. Ive been told I will have this condition for the rest of my life. Im a solo mother of 4 amazing kids. I had to give up work as the specialist said its to much for my body. My kids have had to suffer just as much as me. Helping me out of bed dress me being stuck in bed for hours because I can't move my legs. The pain is like shards of glass and Chinese burns 24/7. Im asking for help which is extremely hard for me. Im supporting 4 kids solo and disabled. I want to see a specialist that deals with my injury and after doing some research doctors have been able to do surgeries to help relieve pain but it would mean I'd have leave nz to get it done. So im asking for a donation big or small to give me a second chance at life and the kids enjoying their lives instead of nursing me. Thanks
