This page is for the purpose of trying to raise funds in order for Lucy to have tests and treatment for her debilitating FND.
Christchurch, Canterbury
My beautiful 19 year old daughter Lucy, was diagnosed with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) in August 2022. Her cognitive impairment is declining. She has non epileptic seizures, has horrible pain, struggles to walk, can no longer drive, and is picking up new "ticks" as the time goes on. Unfortunately this is not commonly recognised in New Zealand. Neurologists have basically wiped their hands clean due to lack of understanding and lack of education. She can not receive any money from the Government, despite numerous attempts, even though she us unable to work now. She is unable to live a normal life. There is a specialised Chiropractor in Wanaka, NZ who has studied FND in America and can help with rehabilitation. These costs are unable to be covered by us, her parents.
I am a very concerned and loving Mother who only wants the best for her daughter.
Any funding we may receive will go towards blood and urine tests, which will go to the US for analysis. These alone cost $900. Also rehabilitation costs, accommodation, taxis, everyday food and living costs. Psychologists fees also.
