Help Megan and her Family
To financially support Megan and her family with costs, specifically epipens
Waikato
Megan is an 18 year old girl with Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS). This syndrome causes her to go into spontaneous idiopathic (no cause) anaphylaxis which is life threatening. She has had 9 anaphylactic reactions in the period of a month and the family are having to fund epipens for this. These epipens cost $120 each as they are not funded, but are necessary for saving Megan’s life. Aside from the epipens Megan takes many other medications that are also unfunded.
Megan is currently bedridden and has had to leave school and her job. There is potential treatments overseas in the United States that could improve Megan’s life quality that her family would love to explore but this will be costly and not possible in current times
Use of funds
Medication. Specifically epipens which cost $120 each and are being used weekly. Any extra money will be used to explore further treatment options overseas when travel becomes possible

Thank you very much to everyone for their support so far. Megan is currently based in Auckland with her mum Julie trying to get some help from her medical team at Auckland hospital. She has had a few more reactions but is trying to remain positive :)
