To help a couples dream come true after heartbreak
Donation protected
Hi my names Leena and I've started this fund-raiser in hope to raise funds for my beautiful friends Eathon and Jen, who have been through so much in just a year, I've created this gofundme so that they may have the funds so that Jen after 2 baby losses in one year, many test and procedures, and completely wiping out any funds they had left, used up to cover medical expenses, specialist, a funeral for their 1 st precious girl Laura Anne marie, and now their second precious girl, Olivia Rose,the loss and devastation this couple has been through is truly heart breaking and soul crushing, any help would be incredible, and beyond greatly appreciated,if you can't donate, share this far and wide, infertility is hard, but to not have that chance or have it cruely taken away is harder,
Let me tell you a little bit about their story and journey and why this is so important and truly close to my heart.
This beautiful couple never ask for anything, they struggle quietly and I really want to get the funds they need as they have exhausted all funds during this journey, and without expensive medical intervention, they may never get to have another opportunity, Jen has now found out after 2 losses and a stitch that failed, she has true incompetent cervix, and will need a full stitch called a TAC, this stitch is very expensive, and so far only found a few doctors in Australia that does this procedure Dr Ades in Melbourne, a specialist in this area, and on top of that is so many expenses, medication, hospital stay, private MFM, they need to travel, accomadation, food all the usual bills, not being able to work so only having 1 income, and so much more medications, tests, scans on top of the normal living expenses, after having 2 angel babies, their precious girls Laura and Olivia I just really want this amazing, brave, resilient and loving mum and dad to finally be able to bring home their bundle of joy healthy happy and thriving,
Without this life altering TAC this may not be possible and I couldn't know a more deserving couple.
Here's a little bit about their journey to become parents and why I'm so desperately hoping to raise as much funds as I possibly can for these beautiful souls.
Over 9 yrs ago my beautiful friend Jen and her partner Eathon, started their journey to becoming parents, however fertility issues arose and it would take all that time, alot of pain and tears devastation and heart ache, to finally get their wish, when Jen finally fell pregnant, but heartbreakingly their dream was cut short when their beautiful little girl Laura came at just 21 + 5 weeks on 22nd April 2023 just days short of viability, absolutely perfect in everyway, all Jen and Eathon could do was gut wrenchingly hold Laura their perfect baby girl lovingly as they let her go, seeking answers it come to be that Jen had an incompetent cervix and infection had been missed, they had done everything to bring this baby into the world, private drs, and high risk drs, a little help from science, regular scans, there were no signs of all of this happening, until it did, their grief and devastation rocked them to there core and still does
Anyone that knows Eathon and Jen knows they always work hard, help anyone they can, and there isn't a more deserving couple, how the universe could let this happen is astonishing.
Then the unimaginable happened in the form of miracle and Jen fell pregnant with their second baby girl Olivia, quite a shock to them not expecting this to happen so soon, however this time they had knowledge, researched, and took extra measures in the form of stitch, this to hold baby in as long as possible and hopefully to viability but praying a little bit longer, Jen did regular test, regular scans had stitch in, did everything possible, all with her husband Eathon by her side through absolutely everything, as always, unfortunately 25th November Jen and Eathon were to find out at 19 weeks Olivia wouldn't make it, Jen had no stitch left, and on the 29th of November Jen was now in labour having Olivia Rose at 2.55 am born sleeping, Olivia Rose is now chasing butterflies and rainbows with her big sister Laura in the sky, and staying close to their mum and dad, I cannot begin to imagine Jen and Eathons true pain, it unimaginable, I'd love for some magic and something wonderful comes their way, true warriors.
So in future Ades have an MFM Dr Panel at JH hospital, and his team, they have Dr Ades who is able to do a TAC, which is basically a permanent stitch, and lots and lots of things in place, all that holds them back now is having wiped their funds trying for their beautiful angel girls, it's so costly, while only having 1 income, and both grieving and in so much pain, never asking for a thing or reaching out when they really need, they'd give and a help anyone, I hope this touches some hearts and reaches many, again even sharing everywhere would be incredible
