Mikes meds funding

$200 of $10,000 goal
Given by 3 generous donors in around 6 months

Help fund Mikes pain relief that is too expensive and financially is too far out of our reach

Dunedin, Otago

Due to a very rare muscular disorder with no treatment options (McArdles Disease about 12 people in NZ with this disorder) my husband has been left almost immobile and was moved to a Supported Living Wage and will never work again.

This is an income tested benefit and I cannot earn a full wage as it is capped at $200 and the rest of my wage is garnished by WINZ. His prescribed Medical Cannabis is $194 a week! I am currently off work following a back injury that has bought spinal and hip arthritis to light and we cannot afford his pain relief. Week to week we have $100 to spend on food, gas, any emergencies etc at best and spending money is nonexistent. Tia for any assistance you can provide.
