Hi, my name is Ella and I'm fundraising to be able to afford my breakthrough pain medication.

I have several conditions that cause chronic pain, but the main ones are Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (hEDS), early onset osteoarthritis, and liver disease. These cause me daily pain and mostly wheelchair bound.

Most of my medication is sourced through the NHS, but due to ongoing severe flares of pain for the last 17 months I have had to have a private prescription added through a clinic to stop me from needing to go to A&E as often.

Unfortunately, due to my condition I am unable to work. This has caused a strain on finances with increased borrowing to try and cover my medication. I am now asking for help, because I can't afford my next prescription and running low at home.

Any donation will be much appreciated, and I will be trying to save any money where I can. I have set the goal at £500, to cover a couple of months supply. Anything above this will go towards future prescription costs.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story, and thank you so much if you have donated! X
