My name is Cath, and I’m a mom raising funds for my daughter, Amber, who is facing her second surgery following a car accident on 27 May 2025.

Since the accident, Amber’s recovery journey has been far more challenging than we ever anticipated. She has already undergone one surgery as part of her treatment, which was a necessary step in helping her heal. Unfortunately, ongoing complications with her shoulder mean that another operation is now required.

This upcoming shoulder surgery is essential to relieve persistent pain, improve mobility, and prevent further long-term damage. Without it, Amber’s ability to function comfortably in her daily life will continue to be affected.

The financial strain of extended medical care has been overwhelming. After the costs of the first surgery, consultations, scans, and recovery-related expenses, we are struggling to manage the cost of this next procedure on our own. It is with humility that we reach out again for support.

How your support will help…

Funds raised will be used to cover:
