Support for Skye

I am Shelly, Skye's Mum

On 17th December 2022, our whole families' lives were turned upside down. It feels like an absolutely horrible nightmare that we just can't seem to wake up from.

I witnessed my beautiful Daughter Skye, our gorgeous girl, my best friend, get hit by a Car at high speed.

She was taken to Hervey Bay Hospital and flown directly to Brisbane Childrens Hospital in a very critical condition.

Skye suffered intense injuries to her abdomen, severe facial injuries and a Traumatic Brain Injury, TBI and Brain trauma.

The next 19 days were spent in PICU, Paediatric Intensive Care Unit, and was breathing through a tracheostomy tube, breathing tube.

After 2 Brain Surgeries, extensive Abdominal Surgery, Facial Reconstruction and many many ups and downs and hurdles along the way, Skye has finally had her breathing tube removed, and is breathing on her own.

She has been transferred to a High Acute Neurological Ward, a ward for Patients with Acute Brain Injuries. This is so her body and brain can heal slowly so she may wake over the next few weeks, so the specialists can see what she can physically and mentally do.

Following this, Skye will then need to spend a large amount of time, possibly months, in the Intensive Rehabilitation Ward at Brisbane Childrens Hospital.

We are only at the beginning of this very long and difficult journey, and Skye has fought very hard to stay with us. She will keep fighting and we, her family, will keep fighting right by her side. However long it takes we will be there, next to her, to get her through this.

Skye needs her family to be with her, in Brisbane.

Myself, her Father Daniel and her siblings need to be here every single day, away from our family home and work. She needs us to be by her side, supporting her, loving her and caring for her as well as supplying any equipment she may need.

WE have set up this GoFundMe page to ask any family, friends, co-workers or community members that if you have anything at all that you can contribute to assist our family so we may support our Daughter, it would mean the absolute world to us. We need your help.
