Taranaki

Hi my name is veronique or vee to my friends

Firstly thank you for reading this, our give a little page could greatly improve my quality of life and start me on a track to recovery as best as possible it means so much to both me and my husband who created this page.

This past year has been the hardest year of my life I was reasonably fit and health aqua jogging everyday and after looking after a friend who had a baby for a couple of weeks I fell very ill with dka leaving me in icu connected to if and tubes. After I could get up I realised I could no longer walk or carry out the most basic needs.We later found out it caused muscle atrophy and neuropathy I can no longer walk more than two metres. I can’t shower myself, dress myself, or do upkeep in my home I am fully reliant on my husband who is my full time carer. I also have daily struggles with insulin’s resistant diabetes which is the illness that cause me to get so sick and severe allergies causing me to have anaphylaxis several times a week which means that without a medical alarm I could die in a position unable to talk to tell anyone and my husband doesn’t rouse when I try wake him at night. And beginning liver failure which I am going to need to be as well as possible to fight. . I have been stuck in my home unable to do much for months now and it can get very lonely. We have spent a year asking all free avenues for help and support with many denials this has put a lot of stress and pressure on my husband and I. We simply just want me to live life. I’m not ready to give up and let my illnesses control me I’m ready to fight I just need help doing it.Due to the fact my husband is my full time carer he can’t work so our medical bills are very high and can not pay them all on our own. I am ready to fight to turn my life around I just need help. We are humbly asking for donations to help me to get a wheelchair I desperately need as I can’t get funding and also to pay for some of our most urgent medical bills we truly appreciate every single cent thank you so much

Wheelchair 600 I can not leave the house because of this

Chemist bill 600 we don’t have everything subsidised so use chemist to help us

Medical alarm for first year 1500 I can’t live without one and am at maximum government subsidy if I have a fall or if I go into anaphylaxis this saves my life

Caregiver 20 per hour needing a caregiver for 8hrs my husband is stuck at home looking after me 24/7 without a break and because we are husband and wife it’s another thing he is expected to do this would be to use for my personal cares needs and a break for Paul twice a week

Diabetic sensor for first year 2640 this stops me going into comas due to the massive amounts of insulin I take this is also lifesaving preventing me from going into diabetic ketoacidosis due to ,y level of control it gives me.

Mobility aides this includes a ramp for my home aides to help me be more independent in my home and disabilty equipment including lumbar support cushioning a gripper, shower aides and things like a leg gripper and ramp door stop etc the smaller aides are 200

We have only supplied details of needs so you know where your donations will go please do not feel pressured only give what you can and if you can’t give then please share

We are both open and would love to share more about my needs or simply even to answer any questions you have you can either go to the page in the links area. We are happy to tell anyone in details why these needs are urgent or how these things came to be how they are just ask as We have been asked to keep the story on here short and to the point
