Help My Sister Breathe, Move & Live Again
My beautiful sister is living with severe COPD/emphysema, and her world has become heartbreakingly small.
She’s now mostly confined to home. Even walking a few steps leaves her breathless. She’s on home oxygen, but she urgently needs a portable oxygen concentrator so she can leave the house safely — without dragging a heavy bottle behind her.
She’s trapped in a vicious cycle:
Because she can’t breathe properly, she can’t exercise.
Because she can’t move much, she’s gaining weight.
And that extra weight is making it even harder to breathe — trapping her further.
Everyday tasks are nearly impossible:
She struggles to shower safely
Making the bed leaves her exhausted
Even walking to the kitchen to make a cup of tea can feel overwhelming
She’s becoming a prisoner in her own home, and it’s not just her lungs that are suffering — it’s her spirit too.
That thumbs-up photo was taken just hours before a planned procedure in Sydney called an endobronchial valve placement — a surgery to block damaged parts of her lungs and help her breathe more easily.
It was a moment of hope.
But not long after that photo, the doctor came in and cancelled the surgery.
Her pre-admission tests had detected cancer.
She never had the operation. Instead, she began a terrifying cancer journey.
She has since undergone cancer treatment and is now in remission.
But sadly, due to the risks from that treatment, the doctor has now said she’s no longer eligible for that lung procedure — the very operation she once had so much hope for.
She is a mother and grandmother, with so much love to give — but right now, her days are limited by breathlessness and isolation. She can’t visit family, go shopping, or enjoy even the simplest outings without struggling.
I’m fundraising to support her with:
A portable oxygen concentrator (~$3,000–$4,000)
Specialist appointments and travel costs (varies per consult/travel)
Breathing support supplies, including:
Oxygen masks & nasal cannulas
Filters, tubing, and cleaning equipment
Spare batteries and charging cables
Replacement parts and consumables
These ongoing costs add up quickly, and without them, even the best machine becomes unusable. We want to make sure she can breathe safely, not just today — but every day going forward.
If you can donate, share, or simply hold her in your heart, we are truly grateful.
Thank you for helping her feel hope again.
Note:
All donations will be deposited into a dedicated bank account in my name and used solely for my sister’s medical needs, breathing equipment, mobility aids, and specialist care. I’ll keep donors updated along the way. Thank you so much for your trust and support.
