Claudia's Atlanta medical and travel bills

For 16 years Claudia Wright was misdiagnosed with Crohn's disease and chronic nerve pain, going through countless treatments, drugs and surgeries - all to treat a disease she never had.

After nearly two decades of experiencing debilitating pain and many other severe symptoms, she was last year finally diagnosed with Stage 4 Endometriosis, after begging Perth doctors to try and look for the cause of her illness.

After another failed surgery attempt to fix her, and concerns of the advanced disease having spread to her chest cavity, Claudia was left with no choice but to travel to America for life-saving surgery.

The expert excision surgery was an overwhelming success and Claudia is recovering well, but her and her family face medical bills in excess of $55,000 and travel costs greater than $20,000 for the whole trip.

Claudia's friends and family have already dug so deep into their pocket to help her, she doesn't feel she has any resources left, and is drowning in the astronomical bills.

Claudia hasn't been able to work for nearly a year due to her poor health. If you can spare any amount to contribute to the huge costs owing, Claudia and her family will be eternally grateful.
