I'm doing everything I can towards the goal, please help

I was one of the hundreds of people who helped people in the devastating earthquake in Christchurch in Feb 22 2011 and the 15,000 over aftershocks since. I did what I could whilst my own health suffered, but everyone had to do what we all could.

I struggled and managed to carry on being a mobile nurse, but a year ago I suffered an acute episode of PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) which doctors say is related to the devastation and the terrible things I saw whilst helping in the aftermath of the earthquake, and ongoing effects. I had to give up my job a year ago because of my medical illness and had to move away to the North Island, away from the constant shakes, worries and stress that haunted me in CHCH. Now I am asking for help please.

I am nearly 60 years old, I moved to Palmerston North last year, I have nothing here, I now live in poor conditions, in a cold, damp, tiny little unit, sparsely furnished with charity help. I am nearly 60 yrs old I had a lovely 4 bdrm home in Christchurch and I lost all of my furniture. I still suffer from ongoing extreme anxiety (PTSD). My little dog Pixie was killed as a consequence of the CHCH events, which I found devastating!

People in CHCH managed to save some of my personal items from my home, eg: clothing, family photos, documents, etc, & it was brought to the North Island by furniture movers, but they are charging me $1950 for me to get these precious memories delivered to me!! I am grateful to be on a sickness benefit, but I can not afford $1950, I only just survive from week to week, for rent and food. I'm hoping for this to change and for me to get back to nursing with medical help. I have raised $300 towards the debt by selling muffins and making jam. I do not expect something for nothing I am a hard worker. Thank you for helping and understanding, Heather

The movers have given me to the end of this month to pay them $1950 or they say I lose it! I have no money to pay this and I feel having some of my personal stuff and memories of my children growing up will help with my recovery and healing. I know I need a miracle because I have nothing.

I have come on 'givealittle' in a last ditch effort to recover the few items that remain and that are mine, so I really need to raise the $1950 needed. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for anyone who is reading this and can help me.
