Austins Helmet for Plagiocephaly
Donation protected
My Beautiful Boy Austin was born at 24 weeks weighing 1LB. He has spent 7 months in hospital . 16 weeks of which were in Liverpool Womens Neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) And a further 12 at Alder Hey Hospital. My son has been diagnosed in easy terms with Flat Head Syndrome he requires a Plagiocephaly HELMET to help reshape his head also ear asymmetry. It has grown at a quicker rate than normal causing his head to shape the way it has. The NHS has told me they will not fund his treatment as it is classed as Cosmetic. My son has been through a rollercoaster start in his life with Chronic Lung Disease, Metabolic bone Disease, ROP, NEC, Prelonged Jaundice and had 3 operations already but he has defied the odds even though hes still on oxygen I want to do my best to give him the bright future and confidence to grow in strength throughout his childhood and adult hood. I only have so long for him to have this treatment with a successful outcome as his head and bones are still soft and able to reshape. I want to do as much as I can for my son but finding £2,000 in the next 8 weeks is very impossible so any donation you could kindly donate to Austin for his treatment would be kindly appreciated.
