Otago

My Mother was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis around 5 years ago. On her honeymoon she started seeing strange symptoms, just when her new life with her husband was about to begin it all came to a halt. She was one of the most independent happy woman I had ever come across and to see everything be taken away from her so quickly was absolutely devastating for her and our family. A few years ago she woke up and couldn’t feel or move the entire right side of her body, I remember sitting in hospital with her watching her right eye slide around in it’s socket because she couldn’t feel half of her face. Mum has never left the country and it was always such a huge goal for her to have a family holiday but unfortunately with Mum not being able to work again I don’t see it as a possibility in the near future. Almost everyday mum tells me she’s getting feeling back in her body, she can move her right facial muscles again, she’s slowly learning to use her right hand and arm again, and though she walks with a limp you can tell she’s getting stronger. Though it will never completely go away I want to take advantage of the health she does have now. I can’t afford to take her some place nice, but I would love to be able to give back for the amazing job she does regardless of her health. No matter how much is raised, wether it’s enough to take her on holiday, or just enough to buy her a bunch of roses. Absolutely anything is appreciated, I just want to give something to mum that she doesn’t think could ever happen.

Happy Birthday Mum x
