Surgery Care Package Project
The Endo Buddies’ Surgery Care Package Project launched in 2020 after our founder, Katy, realised that she wasn’t the only one who had struggled with a lack of information after each of her surgeries.
You can order a care package for yourself or someone else via the button below.
How it Started
Katy, our founder & Chief Kindness Officer, spent 21 years struggling with symptoms before she finally got her diagnosis in 2012. She realised over the years that there was a severe lack of information and support for people with endometriosis.
Sadly, it is a running theme for people with endo that we often feel forgotten about, misunderstood, gas-lighted and ignored. We’re here to change that.
We’re here for you, we understand and we believe you.
So, in 2020, after her 4th surgery, she launched the Surgery Care Package Project. The care packages are for people having surgery for endometriosis and contain items that will help in hospital.
Such as:
- Sleep Mask, Ear Plugs (definitely needed for overnight stays in hospital!) & Menstrual Pad
- Peppermint Tea (especially good for post surgery bloat and gas pain)
- Under Eye Mask, Moisturiser & Lip Balm
- Mints & Throat Lozenges (your throat can get quite sore from the tubes used during surgery)
- Hair Bobble & Nail File
- Something for Anxious Hands and Anxious Minds
- Information Leaflet & Information Cards for Other Organisations
