Support fund for Edie
Edie has undergone emergency life changing surgery and faces two more operations in the coming year.
Canterbury
For everyone who knows and loves Edie, she has suffered the sudden onset of a serious and life changing illness. After spending two weeks in a critical condition in the ICU of a Berlin hospital, she underwent emergency lifesaving surgery.
Edie is making a remarkable physical and mental recovery but is facing two more significant surgeries in the coming year. Her Granny has travelled from New Zealand to Berlin to support with recovery and will likely be by her side for up to a year while Edie focuses on getting well.
Edie has a long and challenging road ahead, she will be unable to work and will need assistance with medical costs, rehabilitation, living expenses, specialist food costs etc.
She is so grateful for the ongoing love and support she has received from everyone across the planet.

Latest update
Update as at August 2022 10 August 2022
Edie has just undergone another surgery a month ago and is hoping to be fit for a fourth operation in September or October. Late last year she found out that she had been denied coverage by her insurance company for the initial surgery which has left her with enormous medical bills, and until recently she had to cover much of her ongoing medical costs herself.
Edie still has a long and challenging road ahead, she will be unable to work and still needs assistance with medical costs, rehabilitation, living expenses etc.
She is so incredibly grateful and overwhelmed by the support she has received from everyone in her recovery so far, from well-wishers and people who have donated money, to the unknown people who donated the blood which kept her alive while she waited for surgery. Edie hopes one day soon to be back on her feet and that she’ll be able to pass that kindness on to others. That support has meant the absolute world to her, and to us all.
