Taiki's mother, Juliet Williams, needs help accessing harm reduction treatment for Severe and Enduring Anorexia caused by intense trauma.
Oakura, Taranaki
I want to help save my Mummy's life. I need her to stay alive, she is my world.
My mum, Juliet (48), has been surviving with Severe and Enduring Anorexia for 37 years. She is now at a point that she will die unless she gets the proper treatment.
Over the past 6 years my Mum has researched endlessly to find treatment in NZ and has tried everything to get better.
Together, we found a place which offers Harm Reduction treatment: Aston Private in Byron Bay, Australia. Harm Reduction treatment is not available in NZ. Harm Reduction treatment is necessary when conventional treatment fails. This is the case with my mum and many others.
20 years ago my grandparents remortgaged their home several times and used an inheritance to send my mum to Monte Nido Eating Disorder Centre in California. This saved her life, but she did not recover. We are so grateful for all the help in the past, but we need help again.
Today, my mum has been accepted for treatment at Aston Private and we need to raise money to get her there. We are not looking for her to 'recover', but for stability to live a healthy life taking joy in nature, music, being with friends and playing with our cats.
Her energy is running out and needs treatment soon. If we raise enough funds she can attend treatment in the next few months. This is the only place we have found that can save her.
Please, please help and share with everyone.

Age 14
I am Juliet's mother and grandmother to Juliet's 14 year old son, Taiki and for 37 years my husband and I have witnessed our precious daughter being torn apart, her dreams destroyed and it has become imperative that we must save her life.
The money will be spent on psychiatric and medical assessment, nursing, an eating disorder psychologist, dietitian, support person, transport, food and a variety of wellness techniques. If the target is not met, funds will be used for Juliet's support.
