Hi Everyone,

I am beyond embarrassed to start a go fund me but i really do need to put my pride aside and ask for help.

Very soon on the 1/5/25 i am having a full hip replacement which means i will be off work for a minimum of 6 weeks. Due to how much pain i have been going through i have used up all of my paid leave at work. This means i will have no income for that 6 weeks and will get very little from Centrelink.

As a single Mum,I will still need to pay my bills,feed my kids and pay my mortgage,aswell as pay to go to physio etc while i am recovering.

In that time my special needs son will still need to go to appts not covered by ndis and need all of his medications too.

My mental health is in overdrive with worry about how i am going to get through it all. I do have amazing family but they have already helped me so much,i really dont want to be a burden on them.

Times have been extremely tough lately and if i didnt desperately need this surgery,i wouldnt do it. But i do. I am in so much physical pain everyday.

Any small amount would help us out as a family so so much and i would be eternally grateful for any help please.
