Natalie needs your help

Hi I'm Dan, Natalie gave me a beautiful little boy who is our whole life, she is an amazing mother and I need her to get better for him.

In late November 2023, Natalie was preparing for a family holiday when she fell hard to the ground unexpectedly with a crushing pain in her head. After being rushed to hospital it was revealed she had experienced a ruptured brain aneurysm - a devastating incident that many people don't survive. After undergoing surgery, she was in coma in ICU for 5 days with daily attempts to wake her being unsuccessful, this was of course an extremely anxious time for us all and our 10yo son Wyatt.

She did finally awake to our relief and she seemed ok at first and was sent home, however the recovery hasn't been what we hoped for and she has been left with full-time thunderclap headaches, muscle weakness meaning she is in a wheelchair, extreme fatigue, short term memory loss and difficulty reading and writing. This all on top of her long term autoimmune disease that she's battled daily for 9 years. The path to recovery will be long and she may never fully recover. The chances of her returning to work are unknown.

Unfortunately Natalie has no savings and cannot currently afford to live until income protection kicks in after three months, and even then it is limited. At the moment she cannot pay her mortgage, medical expenses, and basic bills. Next year's school fees are definitely not possible at the moment.

While we are all helping her out as much as we can financially and otherwise, we would be forever grateful for help from our friends, family and the broader community. The stress of her financial situation is not helping her recovery. She has always worked hard and has never asked for charity, but this time she really needs your help.

Life has dealt Natalie many cruel blows with her Myasthenia Gravis diagnosis, the loss of our son and subsequent marriage breakdown, and now this. Wyatt needs his mum to get better, 10 year olds need their mum. We'd love for her to meet her grandchildren one day.

Thankyou so much in advance for your generosity
