10yrs ago my non treatable seizures started, 11mths ago this caused major spinal cord injuries,im now facing life in a wheelchair.

Canterbury

10 years ago I was hit with non treatable seizures, no amount of medication was helping. 11 months ago I had a major fit causing two ambos to have to try remove me from my home in front of my 5 children,who you can imagine were so upset. As it turns out I have now lost the use of both of my legs which have no feeling or muscle contraction, I have postural alterations, loss of lumber range, disc herniation and spinal cord compression, crushed disc which is blocking spinal cord, loss of neurological muscle strength. I have had and still going threw an uphill battle with ACC as they are trying to get out of covering me, since Epilepsy is a medical condition not an "accident",which is crazy since my epilepsy has been put down to a head injury. I am going threw rehabilitation at Burwood spinal Unit and seeing a chiropractive specialist 3x a week who is trying to keep the blood flow to my legs working before it results in more damage. The stress of all this has caused a huge impact on my family. Im not asking for a lot but just a little help from people that could make all the difference. Life at the moment is a struggle, living in a two story house while stuck in a wheel chair. The bills are adding up and soon i wont be able to afford the chiropractor and the equipment that I should be entitled to, so im really left with no other choice but to ask for much needed needed help, to help myself.

Use of funds

The funds from this account will go towards the costs including a chiropractor, travel to and from my rehabilitation, medication and doctor visits. Also for equipment to help me get the proper equipment that im needing to try and get any sort of recovery.
