Why I Need Your Help I’ve spent everything I have fighting this illness. My husband, Chris, and I sacrificed our wedding, our honeymoon, and years of savings to fund my surgeries. We haven’t been on holiday in over a decade because all of our resources have gone into my care. But now, I’m out of options. My son recently asked me, “Mummy, have we found a doctor yet?” because even at four years old, he sees the toll this has taken on me. My children deserve a healthy mother. I deserve the chance to live without this constant fear that my body is shutting down. My children should not have to fear their mother will die at 35. How Your Support Will Help We are asking for support to raise €28,000 to cover: €10,000 for surgery, colonoscopy, and associated medical costs. €5,000 for contingencies (additional tests, unexpected complications). €5,000 for travel and accommodation in Romania. €4,000 for food and living expenses while abroad. €4,000 for insurances. This is not just a fight for me—it’s a fight for my family, for my children, and for the chance to reclaim my life. Endometriosis has already taken so much from me—my health, my independence, my ability to fully enjoy life’s milestones. But I’m determined not to let it take my future. I’m not asking you to do this for me. I’m asking you to do this with me. With your help, I can access the care I so desperately need before it’s too late. Please, if you can donate, share, or even just spread the word, you’re helping me take one step closer to life-saving treatment. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Let’s do this together. With love and gratitude, Laurene
