Raising funds to help Beth Te Kiri get a new hip

Napier, Hawke's Bay

Beth Te Kiri and her husband Paul are absolute legends. They have spent their life helping others and it would be fantastic to bless them through this initiative.

Two years ago Beth's hip starting causing grief, and it was clear she needed a replacement. In January of this year she started experiencing severe pain, and that continues to this day. She is on the maximum dose of painkillers that will still allow her to continue to function in her job at school.

She recently discovered that she has been bumped from the waiting list, and is only getting physio. We all know our health system is broken, and we thought it would be great if we could chip in and help this saint get a new hip!

The surgery and follow up cost around $30,000, and we already have an incredibly generous donation of $10,000 towards this, so we are wanting to raise the remaining money so Beth can have this operation.

Every little bit helps, so don't worry if it's just a small contribution. Between all of us we can bless this amazing woman!

Miraculous Development  13 February 2023

Having been bumped off the waiting list for surgery back in October, there has been a miraculous development and Beth is now not only back on the list but has a surgery date of 27th February!

We closed the Give a Little page as soon as we knew this, but in talking with Beth I have discovered that she has no sick leave, meaning that the money donated would go a long way towards making up the financial shortfall while she is recovering and unable to work.

However, I realise that this isn’t what you donated to, so if you would prefer to have your donation reimbursed, please contact helpdesk@givealittle.co.nz by Monday, February 20th and this will be arranged.
