Help Natalie get back on her feet.

One year ago Natalie was in hospital recovering from major brain surgery.

On Friday the 19th of August 2022, after years of vision problems, neck pain, headaches and vertigo Natalie presented to Hospital only to discover there was a tumor the size of a large peach growing at the base of her brain. She was told it would need to be operated on as soon as possible. She almost died the next day and had to undergo a second surgery on her brain.

She didn't return home for many weeks, and her 3 children were not allowed to visit her. Natalie is a single parent, so her Mum had to move in to care for the children while she was hospitalized and also while she recovered at home.

A year on Natalie is recovering but has some major limitations. She has only recently been cleared to drive and is back at work 14hrs a week over 3 days. This is still too much as she suffers severe exhaustion. Realistically she may never be able to return to work in a fulltime capacity. Her Mum still stays with the family a few days a week to help with meals and give Natalie a break.

Although Natalie appears to be managing, she has had some unexpected blows recently including a fallen tree in her yard which crushed her washing line and cost over $2000 to have cut down and removed. Now her car has broken down and she can't afford to have it repaired.

Natalie is an extremely generous person with a big heart and now she needs help.
