Endometriosis surgery for Kristy

Donation protected

I am doing something I have always been too foolishly proud to do before and asking you all for help.

My name is Rob and I am fund-raising for my best friend and beautiful wife Kristy.

She suffers from endometriosis and has undergone several surgeries to help with the immense pain she is in 24hrs a day.

Kristy is the most amazing person I have ever met. She is so concerned for others and finds the good in every situation and person she comes across. She loves life, her three boys and loved working with me in our handyman business but hasn't been able to work for a couple of years now and is pretty much confined to the house having pain attacks every hour or so.

Kristy needs a hysterectomy and has been on the public wait list a couple of times for a very long time only to be told by the surgeon to try alternative therapies again or that she is too young to have the surgery in case she wants more children!! We have two adult children who are out in the world making their way and a sixteen year old at home so we have absolutely let that ship sail.

A private surgeon will do the surgery but as we have depleted our funds we really need help.There have been alot of promises along this journey of a better quality of life for her from several very expensive private surgeons performing exploratory surgeries and stop gap surgeries but nothing has come to fruition and we are at the end of our finances after putting all of our savings and superannuation into this.

To see my wife in so much agony, crying and saying she wished it would just end is the worst feeling I have ever experienced. I have worked hard all of my life and still do and knowing that the only thing that stands between my wife and a normal life is the fact that I can't make enough money to help her is killing me. I would happily sell a kidney to make her ok again.

Anything you could spare would be a small miracle to us and will help to change an amazing sensitive loving person's life.


Thank you
