Help Sarah pay for Urgent medical costs

Tēnā Koutou Whānau!

I fell over playing netball seven years ago when I was 14, I tore the cartilage in my wrist and was in a cast for 4 weeks. It never really healed properly.

I hurt my wrist again One Year and 6 months ago. I retore what little cartilage I had in my wrist and also tore a ligament which connects the two bones in my wrist together. The process to figure out what was wrong has been extremely long and really painful.

I had been supported by ACC through both of these injuries. The surgery I need is to alter my Ulnar bone, they take a piece of it and put my bones back together with metal, robotic arm!!

But ACC have denied financial support for the surgery, and have recently denied any further support of my weekly physio appointments and casts (which cost $90 each!).

I've been led on and then dumped by ACC with a broken wrist!!!

The only way to fix it a surgery I could never afford privately, I am still on the waiting list with DHB after getting approved for an appointment 5 months ago.

Im a teacher and a uni student so funds are tight, any help so I can afford some physio appointments and casts would be lifechanging!

Ngā Manaakitanga,

Sarah <3
