  1. August 2026Care

    I am inside the Dutch healthcare system and receiving ongoing care

    I am registered with Dutch care and seeing clinicians here regularly while the fund is being raised. That ongoing care keeps me stable, but it does not cover the surgery itself. The timeline stays uncertain until the funding is in place, so I am reporting it exactly as it is rather than promising a date I cannot yet give.

    • Registered in the Dutch system
    • Ongoing appointments and monitoring
    • Surgery still unfunded
    • Timeline: uncertain, reported honestly
  2. Fund statusMoney

    The fund opens at zero

    No head start, no anonymous benefactor, nothing hidden. It begins at zero because I would rather show you the truth than a comfortable number. Every confirmed donation appears on the donate page within seconds of clearing.

    • Raised so far: €0
    • Target: €45.000
    • Donors: published live
  3. Coming nextMedical

    Surgical quote published in full

    The itemised quote goes up here the moment I have it in writing, line by line, with nothing removed.

    • 4 cost categories
    • Itemised, not summarised
    • Published as a PDF
  4. Coming nextMilestone

    The day the date is booked

    The moment the fund covers enough for the theatre deposit, I book the surgery and you will hear it here before anywhere else.

    • Theatre deposit: €26.000
    • Booking window: 4 to 8 weeks
    • Announced here first
  5. Coming nextRecovery

    The weeks after, written honestly

    Recovery is part of the cost, so it is part of the reporting. Appointments, medication, the days that go well and the days that do not.

    • 6 weeks off work
    • €6.500 recovery budget
    • Weekly written updates

How I will report back

Every invoice, published

As each cost is paid, the invoice appears here so you can match the spending to the total raised.

Setbacks reported too

If a date moves, a quote rises or something goes wrong, that gets written here in the same place as the good news.

No quiet endings

When the fund closes, a final summary is posted covering every euro received and every euro spent.

The next update could be the one where I say thank you.

Make it happen

Medically necessary care, refused funding.
