Question:
Are there any other NEW ZEALANDERS out there

hi..i feel soooo alone out in here nz i have only made contact with one other nz-er who is yet to have her surgery so feel that i am floundering on my own. i sent emails to all the nz-ers that are listed on this site and explained my predicament months ago and have not had one response...wish i feel is unbelivable as i will help anyone if they need it,.....anyway if you are out there in net land and live in nz why not say hello...    — Rachel F.

You're not alone, Rachel. There's a siteful of people here ready, willing and able to help you if you need it! I do understand the value of having someone from "where you're at", be it geographically, mentally or emotionally, and I'm sorry you haven't found the support you need. I'm not blessed to be a Kiwi from your beautiful country (tho I have a friend who is) but you can feel free to email me anytime. :)

Hi Rachel! I'm in Switzerland and have no one here for support, but I do have this website. No one care if you are in New Zealand all are welcome!! I may never get to meet any of the friends I make here but that doens't change the fact that we are all here to support each other. I'd encourage you to fill out your profile..people love reading profiles and it helps to break the ice. Please don't be shy!! D
