Julia and Christian's road to recovery

Two of my siblings are suffering from immense mental health difficulties and are currently both in psychiatric hospitals, one in Sydney and one in Bangkok. Both of them have been through a recent psychosis. Chris was homeless before being admitted.

Our goal is to get them both into a private rehabilitation centre as soon as they are released from their current emergency care. But this is going to cost my Mum approximately $50,000AUD total, on top of the hospital fees for Julia. The public system in NSW has failed for Christian over the past 7 years.

I would like to ask my friends and family for donations to help in this time of crisis. Every small amount is greatly appreciated, as this is going to be a long journey.

I love my siblings dearly, and watching them both suffer because of their Complex PTSD and other undiagnosed issues for so many years has been totally devastating. And even though Mum is an extraordinarily strong woman, she has gone through things no mother should ever have to experience.

I want to do everything I can to support Mum who is doing her best to care for them and trying to get them the medical help they need to recover.

Thank you so much to everyone for your support and generosity,

Ellen
