I need another new Jaw!

Update: Firstly, a huge thank you to those who donated- I truly cant begin to express how grateful I am! Mid 2022, we found a new surgeon in Auckland who is amazing- and wanted to try a different less invasive surgery first prior to committing to the TMJ replacement we were originally told that we needed. Which was amazing news- and meant that at that time, we didn’t need the 70k originally quoted! The funds that were donated to this page by so many of you lovely humans went towards costs of the modified surgery such as travel costs and costs of equipment such as the jaw stretching device and post operative/recovery costs. The surgery went ahead in July and worked incredibly well for a few months- and saw me eating burgers and living my best life- however, unfortunately- this is no longer the case and in December- we found out that the left side had deteriorated to end stage despite the surgery and I was again reliant on feeding tubes, pain medications and can no longer open my mouth past 10mm. And we now have no option left but to do the total replacement on the left side as originally planned. Which we have created a seperate page for (https://givealittle.co.nz/cause/help-kate-get-another-new-jaw-and-her-life-back).
