Sammie’s Journey to Recovery
Donation protected
Hi my name is Jennifer and I’m creating this
page to help support my friends Renee &
Thierry as they will be travelling to Sick Kids in June 2022 so their son, Samuel can undergo
his second open heart surgery.
I’ve known Renee for over 20 years and she is a person with a BIG heart and has always been there for me. I’m especially grateful for her
being apart of my children’s lives. Renee
always dreamed of being a mom herself. I
knew she would make a wonderful mom and
that happened for her shortly after she met
Thierry and in February 2020 Samuel was
born. Samuel was their miracle baby.
Samuel’s heart defect was discovered on the
same day they were getting ready to be
discharged from the hospital from a failing a
simple oxygen test. As a result they spent the
next 2.5 months at Sick Kids
preparing and undergoing and recovering from open heart surgery and also told Samuel
would need a second surgery in the next
couple of years.
So here we are and my friends are leaving in a
few weeks, in June 2022 to go back to Sick
Kids where Sammie will have his second heart
surgery scheduled in July. They are planning
on staying a minimum of 3 weeks if there are
no complications. ( Praying for that!)
So far I know costs for accommodations are
$3900. I’m hoping to raise enough money to
cover immediate expenses including,
accommodations, travel and food. I would also like to assist my friends as they will be taking
time off their jobs to help Sammie recover for a
minimum of 6 weeks.
Let’s help alleviate some of the financial
burden on them. No donation is too small
together we can make a BIG difference!!!
Will you join with me in supporting my friends as they are about to start on Samuel’s 2nd
journey to recovery? Let’s send them some
love!
Thank You for supporting! ❤️
