Living with debilitating sever seizures & I’m fundraising to access private medical care & to cover essential cost i desperately need.
Auckland
My name is Maria. I’m a 32-year-old mum to a beautiful four-year-old boy, and I run my own small business. Life was moving forward until I was struck by a debilitating illness—uncontrollable and sever seizures without warning. After I come out of a sezuire Im in an aggressive aura where I can hurt myself or anyone around me with absolutely no memory. If I’m not watched 24/7 anything could happen and I certainly cannot be left alone with my son which is heartbreaking for a mother.
still no clear diagnosis.
These seizures have turned my whole world upside down:
I can’t drive, can’t work or even be left alone.
My partner can no longer work because he needs to watch me 24/7, and it has completely changed his life too.
My little boy has had to see his mum collapse and have severe seizures —it’s terrifying for him and heartbreaking for me.
The business I worked so hard to build has been put on hold.
While I’m under the public health system, the wait for answers and treatment is painfully slow. I’m reaching out for help to access private medical specialists and testing so I can get answers faster and start moving towards stability
🙏 Why I’m asking for help:
This illness has affected every part of my life, and without private help, I feel stuck and powerless. I want to get back to being the mum my son deserves and rebuild my life and business. Any contribution, no matter how small, would mean the world to us.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading and supporting. 💙
