ME/CFS Support (Auckland) Inc

ME Support is a charity who supports people with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis ME/CFS (often referred to as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) and Long COVID and their whanau/carers.

Around 45,000 New Zealanders live with ME/CFS, and that number is currently growing more rapidly than usual with Long COVID now. It is estimated that 10-20% of people who had the COVID-19 virus have Long COVID symptoms, whether mild, moderate or severe. Many people are disadvantaged by the economic impact of these illnesses, along with low levels of understanding and diagnosis of, and treatment for ME/CFS and Long COVID in the public health system.

Our mission is for every person with ME/CFS/Long COVID, and related conditions, to experience high quality health care and community support, free from stigma and discrimination.

Our Client Support Coordinators help those with ME/CFS and Long COVID with: illness management solutions, mental health support, GP support, work and income advocacy, connections to other community organisations, facilitating online, and face to face, support groups. Many of our members are in financial difficulty and cannot afford the care they need to help manage their illness.

ME Support Auckland is heavily reliant on grants and public donations. Our membership is growing exponentially and we require more funding to meet this need and provide services for everyone seeking support.

Please help us, to help those who are in need of more support for ME/CFS and Long COVID.
