Dear visitor,

Thank you for being here. We want to introduce Tess to you and share her story to give her the chance of a future without constant pain and other disabling complaints and limitations.

Tess urgently needs specialized medical care. Without intervention, she runs the risk of losing organs and teeth and other permanent damage to her body. After years of misdiagnosis, she finally has a prospect of the right treatments – but they are only available abroad and cost a fortune.

You may be shocked by the amount.

We were also shocked when we added everything up and saw how much we need.

Due to years of wrong diagnoses and postponement of the right treatments, a lot of damage has been caused, and additional conditions have arisen.

We have therefore split our target amount. Instead of raising €250,000 for all necessary interventions right away, we will first focus on the most urgent examinations and treatments:

✔ Surgery for endometriosis and fibroids

✔ Gastric and esophageal interventions

✔ Examination and treatment for MCAS

✔ Neurophysics rehabilitation

✔ Dental, joint and back surgery

(For more information about these conditions, please contact us)

Why is your help so important?

Tess lives with extreme pain and serious symptoms every day, such as:

? Unbearable symptoms of endometriosis grade 4 and fibroids

? Severe heart palpitations, drops in blood pressure, breathing problems and problems with the autonomic nervous system

? Unbearable stomach, intestinal and nerve pain

? Joint instability, tissue fragility and subluxations due to Ehlers-Danlos syndrome

? Dental problems that cause her severe pain every day and risk losing teeth

Despite her enormous strength and perseverance, Tess' condition is deteriorating daily. Her conditions are causing increasing damage to her body, and without the right treatments, her situation is in danger of becoming irreversible. Due to the complexity of her health, every intervention involves more risks and complications. What is obvious and harmless to others can have serious consequences for her. That is why specialized expertise is absolutely necessary.

How can you help?

? Make a donation - Every amount, big or small, makes a difference.

? Share this fundraiser – The more people we reach, the greater the chance of reaching our target amount.

? Practical help – Are you organizing an event? Then perhaps you can include Tess’ fundraiser as a charity. We can also use extra help organizing new activities (hiking, quiz, garage sale of items, etc.)

Every donation is used for necessary medical treatments, specialized examinations, rehabilitation, transport and accommodation abroad and medical costs such as medication and adapted equipment.

Tess wants nothing more than to be able to live. She dreams of being able to dance to the fullest, to be able to work, play sports and participate in society, in short: to build a normal life.

With your help, that is possible!
