Helping Sheryl to aid her mental health recovery.

Halfway Bush, Dunedin

Over the past three years Sheryl has had some very significant mental health challenges and since 9th June this year she has been a patient at The Ashburn Clinic in Dunedin. The only avenue of funding for Sheryl has been a privately paid option, given the urgency of her situation. Sheryl is not eligible for Ministry of Health or ACC funding. The care and therapy is currently costing an average of $4500 per week which is creating the utmost of distress for Sheryl. This campaign aims to increase the length of stay available to Sheryl, and improve her chances of recovery. I am Sheryl's husband.
