Please help my beautiful sister, Sam regain her normal life again and be the best mum she can be

Putaruru, Waikato

My name is Hayley and my sister Samantha has been suffering with stage 4 Endometriosis and Polycystic Ovaries (PCOS) since she was 14.

She left her nursing degree in 2018 due to the pain she was in and has struggled to work since then, with constant pain often causing her to struggle to move and get out of bed.

Sam has had multiple admissions to hospital for severe pain and has gone through two four-hour endometriosis removal surgeries which have been unsuccessful. Sam has not only been affected physically but her endometriosis has caused a huge impact on her mental health too.

After deciding that a hysterectomy was the best chance to no longer be in pain, Sam chose to put her life on hold to try for a family first and was lucky enough to have two incredible children, Hunter and Lilly – supported by her incredible fiancé, Luke.

However, after numerous doctors’ visits, finding out her endometriosis has seized to her c section scar after already seizing to her bowels, me moving in to support Sam and her family and with constant bleeding for over a year – Sam has been told she has to wait another 2-3 years for a hysterectomy, devastating news after such a hard journey with her illness.

We are asking for support to help fund a private surgery for Sam’s hysterectomy so that she can have a chance to be the best mum to her family and be able to live a pain free life. Please help my sister to become the active mother she wants to be and get her the surgery she so desperately needs!
