Supporting Stacey and her family through Trigeminal Neuralgia

***Update 4/6 - Stacey will be getting an MRI on the 17th of June. From there she will get an appointment with the neurosurgeon. Surgery is not yet confirmed. Please see the use of funds & page updates below for more information on what funds are to be used for.***

Imagine living your life one minute and the next minute you are in the most excruciating pain know to humanity? That’s what happened to Stacey, the once fit F45 lover, wife and mum of 6 kids. To now be crippled by pain unable to do anything but lie there with her hot wheat-bag trying to make it through another day of unbearable pain. The options are go through this pain while hoping the medication used for epilepsy works to live a semi normal life or raise enough money ($45,000) to fly her up to Christchurch to be operated on by a TN specialist and give her the best opportunity to live a normal life and be a Mum and wife again, also fulfill her dream of becoming a midwife this we will know more once she has had her MRI & appointment with the neurolo. The money raised will be used for the costs involved with any specialist, surgery, travel & medical costs not covered by the public system.

If surgery doesn’t go ahead Stacey will be looking into other treatment options such as

Stereotactic radiosurgery

Or Balloon compression

There are other non surgical options such as regular Botox.

“Stacey has chosen to go private surgery so she can have a neurosurgeon who has a great reputation for MVD and get it done faster so she can get her life back”

Any left over funds Stacey will donate to a charity if her choice.

Stacey is always the first to think of others and help others, she is still thinking of others while going through the hell of constant pain.

Please help us help Stacey, every little cent helps.
