In Memory of Mandi
Mandi Kingsbury's MS gave her the biggest fight of her life after a severe attack paralysed her and we still need your help.
Christchurch, Canterbury
Sadly Mandi Kingsbury has left us after living with full paralysis for two months following a severe MS attack.
Mandi lived with MS for most of her adult life and that didn't let it stop her live life to the full - that is until it stopped her in her tracks. She was brave and beautiful to the end, and leaves behind her heartbroken partner Gerry.
Mandi wasn’t insured due to her pre-existing condition, which why we still need your help and support of Mandi's GiveALittle page.
Just over three months ago she was admitted to hospital in Dubai after a relapse that left her mobility badly impaired. A follow-up severe MS attack left her completely paralysed. After two months in hospital in Dubai she was repatriated back home to NZ for further medical treatment but sadly there was no cure and on September 7 she slipped away peacefully with Gerry and her family by her side.
Her medical costs in Dubai spiralled out of control. Eg, coming home required buying 11 seats on an Airbus A380 for her stretcher and support team.
Mandi's passing has not only left Gerry heartbroken but with a huge medical bill.
Any help will be so appreciated.
