Help heal Anna’s health crisis
Donation protected
Anna has been on a heavy health and grief journey and she just can’t go any further without significant help. This is crisis point. She has just come out of a severe stomach infection after the cyclone which sent her Chrons healing backwards and put her at a extremely low body weight. She’s been working through trauma of the news that her Mother was recently removed by Police from a flat she was isolated in from the outside world for over 10 years. Anna was also trapped in there as a child and this is what prompted her into foster care. Her Mum is now in hospital for the foreseeable future. Anna’s (and her Mum’s) story is one of unfathomable resilience. Anna recently suffered multiple mental health crises but managed to emerge. Then her sweet dog Louie, who was her world, her best friend and daily comfort was also tragically hit by a car this week. She’s devastated.
She is also now forced to close her business - with her laptop, phone and car all needing repairs or replacement and she can no longer mentally or physically continue to work at this time. She struggles to walk and stand at times or leave the house. She needs time to recover. She’s never had the adequate support both physically and financially to do so. In addition to Chrons Disease, Anna also suffers from POTS, ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, Chronic Fatigue and remaining PTSD symptoms. She has been creating her own resources to manage this. She has spent over $200,000 of her own money and unfortunately also accumulated around $9,000 in debt which brings a lot of pressure and stress on her right now. Anna does not have parental or immediate family support. Thank you to you, her extended family.
Next steps in health that Anna heeds:
* Work with a gut healing specialist to rebuild her bowels and micro biome - Last time Anna did this it was extremely positive and is what prompted her vibrant remission in 2023 that we all loved to see. This cost over $1000 of her money at the time, She had to stop because of finances.
* Continue sessions with her Psychologist.
* Get an official diagnoses for ADHD and other Neurological/Mental Conditions (this can be a tiring, expensive journey but necessary to help her apply for Disability Support).
* Continue her access to healing supplements, natural pain relief and therapies.
* Dental work
* Financial ease to take time off work and be able to navigate unexpected costs that come with healing journeys.
Resources and repairs Anna needs to do:
* Purchase laptop: she wants to take this time to work on her books she hopes to publish.
* Fix phone screen
* Fix car
* Pay off debts
It’s time to call in the collective for her. She’s always in survival mode. I’ve seen how quickly she heals when she’s supported and stress free, I’ve seen how quickly she falls when she’s not. This can’t keep going. Anna is at risk of even more severe complications if it does. This is crisis point. She is determined to heal completely, clear trauma and become her vibrant self once again but she needs help.
