Need help to get the best care for my kids as public system isn't helping.
Manawatu / Whanganui
2yrs ago my girls starting having trouble breathing, would pass out randomly and suffered extreme fatigue. After many tests the doctors had to give them blood transfusions and iron infusions (multiple iron infusions over last 2yrs). It has helped them but hasnt found out what is causing it. So abt 6months ago we took the kids to a private specialist who is running more tests and trying to help them instead of just putting a bandaid over the problem. At this stage she thinks they have a form of von willebrand disease (a type of hemophilia). With all the tests and travellings 4hrs to get tests done it's taking a huge toll on our finances and we have found out there's no help until we know what is wrong and by that time it will be to late. So I'm asking for help so I can get my kids the best care. Public system has been useless so we had to go private.
Private specialist + consultation costs
Petrol for travel
Food and accommodation while ongoing tests are done.

Finally 18 March 2025
Been waiting 2 years for the public health system to listen and see my kids. Took our private hematologist to ring the public gynecologist to explain how serious my kids condition is and we now have an appointment on Thursday.
Still waiting on more tests through hematologist but we are slowly getting there. Thanks for your support and remember any donation big or small helps to pay the specialist bill, gas to and from appointments and products for my kids to make their lives a bit more manageable. We also have schooling through Northland health school now so my kids don't get so far behind due to poor attendance because of their medical condition.
Aww thankyou so much. Love u to
