"I must now fundraise for my own life and for my babies to have the mummy they so desperately need and deserve. I am in constant pain in my neck, head and spine and week in, week out my neurological damage is becoming harder to ignore."

32y/o Samantha is a single mum and Psychotherapist from Gtr.Manchester and is in need of raising funds on a time-sensitive mission to pay for life saving neurosurgery in the USA.

Samantha’s condition is deteriorating as she awaits funds to book the surgeries. with deterioration, comes further complication and increased costs.

Without surgery, Samantha‘s body will cruelly deteriorate until she loses her fight.

WITH YOUR HELP, she can regain a ’normal’ quality of life, returning to the fun loving mummy and dedicated psychotherapist she was less than two years ago.

A lack of provisions in the UK for EDS related neurosurgeries, means that Samantha‘s only option is to fund the care with a very confident and experienced surgeon in the USA; but this comes at a large cost. A cost she can not fulfil alone.

So far Samantha's amazing supporters have helped her to raise £121,000 via another fundraising plafform, but we need to raise more before she can book the surgery for JANUARY 2019.

For the most benefits; her surgeon has recommended early January 2019 for the operations which will stabilise her spine, reduce pressure off her spinal cord and alleviate damage and pressure on her brainstem.

Samantha needs these operations whilst her body is in a position to recover well and regain the majority of functioning with the operation.

Here is more about Samantha's story in her recent ITV interview

Samantha's medical story ...

No Neuro-surgeons are qualified to operate on Samantha in the U.K. and so Samantha's journey has seen her needing to raise in excess of £200,000 to go abroad.

She has a connective tissue disorder called Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (EDS-Type1).

Connective tissues hold the body and its organs together, but faulty connective tissues cause complications, pain and multiple daily dislocations throughout the whole body.

Her whole body dislocations, sprains & frequently causes mobility issues and pain; however, this has never stopped her achieving her dreams of becoming a psycotherapist, building a private practice (2014-2017) and fulfilling her most important role as a present, hands on single mummy to her two young children.

However, now her spine is collapsing and dislocating; the damage to her spinal cord is affectingany of her bodily systems, Aggressive neuro-surgery can relieve these pressures and stabilise her life. However, soon the damage will become irreversible.

Please help us to achieve this target and overcome the cost of surgeries which is the one obstacle between samantha living a full and happy life ... or dying young.
