My daughter's Mental health

Help for my daughters mental health

Beachlands, Auckland

My 13 year old has suffered bulling in school, this has destroyed her mental health. Thursday night she tried to take her own life.

I would love to raise money to send her to my father in South Africa. And to get better medical treatment there, unfortunately the system here has failed us.

My daughter's first month in year 9 starting college one of the teachers sent a survey out to all the students about my daughter. The second month our house got egged and notes left at my house telling my daughter to kill herself and that she is useless.

At the school all over the toilets messages were left for her to kill herself.

She has now not been at school for 4 months, MOE are taking there time to put her onto a new school.

She is so isolated here, she has no friends and her mental health is getting worse.

I want to send her to SA to stay with my dad. He has the time to be around her 24/7.

The funds will help with flight tickets, and extra money for my dad to get the medical attention my child needs.

Sadly I can't afford it right now as we a family of 6 of us and the cost of living in NZ we are only just surviving.

Would really appreciate all the help we can get.

Use of funds

Flights back to South Africa, and proper medical treatment.

Huge Thank you  1 August 2024

Firstly would love to say thank you to all that donated and shared my post. Mikayla seeing this page and the love and support she got blew her mind. Unfortunately didn't quite reach out goal, so now our plans have had to change. Through this page I've met some private specialists that have reached out to get support for Mikayla, so these funds raised are going to go towards looking after her mental Health here in NZ. I have money to pay for support that I didn't know was here.

Mikayla mental health is still not 100% but she is improving, but something small will happen and then she back in her dark place. I will be working with the professional to work out how to navigate and work with Mikayla. These funds will 100% go towards Mikayla getting the right help she needs.

Thank you all so much I really appreciate all the help from from family, friends and strangers.
