MELANIE'S FUNDRAISER

I am a 19 year old that has always worked hard and am dedicated to making the most of things. 

In February of this year i injured my back very badly causing two discs to slip together towards my spinal cord. If this happens I will lose general movement in my body. Everyday, with every move I make, I am risking my life.

 

For this injury to be fixed I need spinal surgery. To have this without any risks I need to lose a large amount of weight in a short time. My specialist recommended a gastric bypass.

 

I am unable to get this surgery publicly as I do not fit the criteria.

 

The surgery can be done privately for $24,095.

​

Because I don't have a job there is no way for me to pay for this. I am unable to get a loan or other financial assistance. I'm stuck in a difficult situation and I desperately want to get back to working and start to live my life again. I have a qualification and passion for Tourism and Hotels and I want to be able to get back to doing something I love. I also have a 1 & 4 year old niece and nephew and because of my back injury I am unable to make the most of my time with them.

 

Being able to afford this surgery would help me live my life as much as possible. I'm 19 and only really starting to live. I will be able to start working, my mental health will be improved which I struggle a lot with, my other medical problems will be minimized or may even be eliminated.

​

This fundraiser with Salt & Oil is just one of the ways I'm trying to raise enough money for the surgery. Thank you SO much for your help with this.
