My daughter Louise needs urgent treatment for debilitating, painful Endometriosis.

Northland

My younger daughter, Louise Erasmus, lives in South Africa and has been diagnosed with debilitating, painful Endometriosis; her doctor estimated at least R70 000.00 (about NZ $ 7000.00) for the treatment required to ease her pain. She has been hospitalized five times this year for her pain, cannot work and is in danger of losing her job. She married a lovely man, Pieter, in 2015 and they have been trying to have a family but so far have not been successful. She has in the past required surgery for abdominal hernias.

Please help my daughter get the relief she needs. Her Medical Insurance is depleted and she needs help urgently. Any surplus will be saved and spent on any further treatment she may require for her pain if initial treatment is not successful, or, if she has IVF, on her (hopefully) baby's future in South Africa. It will not be wasted.

I will be forever grateful to all who are willing to help me, to help her.

Louise, my daughter, got married in 2015 and has had Artificial Insemination but it failed; she been diagnosed with debilitating Endometriosis and is in a lot of pain and off work; she cannot afford the surgery required to relieve the pain.

Use of funds

Whatever treatment the doctors decide to relieve her pain. She has an option of surgery, or IVF followed by surgery.

Louise's recovery  29 June 2019

Louise has had her surgery; a difficult surgery where three surgeons found her Endometriosis to be much worse than anticipated; she is slowly recovering but not able to work yet. She is very grateful to all who have and are still willing to help her pay her costs. I am so grateful, as her mother, that she now has a chance to be free of pain. Thank you all who care so much!
