Help Me Stay in Physio

Hi, my name is Erin and I have spina bifida, chiari malformation and some other diagnoses. (kyphosis, scoliosis, syrinx)

I started having increasing challenges with my mobility in late 2023, after a surgery and I'll admit a bout of depression.

Physio in Spring of 2024 (took that long to be approved for it), helped a lot and I was great until around September. Since then it's been a huge struggle and I had to wait until Spring of this year to be covered for more physio.

But here is where the financial trouble starts. I'm only covered for 5 appointments, per year and that's only if it's deemed "needed"

(I'm currently in physio now but only two sessions left)

I’m fundraising to help cover the cost of physiotherapy for the next 3 months, so I can continue working on my leg strength, mobility and balance. I’ve noticed some small gains with strength, getting in and out of bed and other transfers are getting better.

The challenge is that physio is expensive, 95 dollars per session with the clinic I'm currently at and right now it’s more than I can manage on my own with the cost of living and my assistance. (I can't work due to issues from the chiari malformation) With your help, I’d be able to commit to regular sessions over the next 3 months and give myself the best chance at a lasting change for the better.

Every little bit can really help! Whether it’s a donation or even sharing this page. I’d be forever grateful for any support you can give. Thank you for being part of my healing journey.
