$16,800 of $120,000 goal
Given by 189 generous donors in around 3 months

Helping a kiwi family of 5 get urgent medical treatment overseas so they can get their lives back again.

Whangaparaoa, Auckland

In 2006 Carly (Mum, 40) went travelling and was bitten by a Tic. She was recovering from Crohn’s disease surgery & was taking medication to suppress her immune system unaware Lyme disease was now hiding within her body.

In 2008 Carly met her husband Simon and had 3 children: Ollie, Isla and Arlo.

Carly got sick in 2021. She saw 20+ doctors who didn’t know what was wrong with her. This fit woman became a mere shadow of herself.

Isla (7) developed signs that something wasn't right. She was incorrectly diagnosed with Autism & Anxiety at age 5. The diagnosis was incorrect as Isla was suffering with hallucinations, OCD & suicidal thoughts. Isla was admitted to hospital & was later diagnosed with PANS-an untreatable syndrome here in NZ.

Arlo(2) started showing similar signs to Isla, and was also diagnosed with PANS.

Simon is a pilot and has been unable to return to work under the family's untreatable illnesses & is now the a full time carer for them.

Carly has now been confirmed with having Lyme disease and Bartonella. This is not treatable in NZ. Carly found the Lyme Clinic in Mexico & Dr Omar Morales. Bloodtests showed, Ollie(10), Isla & Arlo have congenital Lyme & Bartonella also-a trigger for PANS.

The Taylor family are desperate to save their children’s lives as well as Carly's, so as soon as they understood the Mexico Lyme Clinic could restore normality for them all, they instantly put their house on the market to afford life saving treatment for the entire family.
