My daughter needs to get her life back
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Pixie and I am fundraising to help my daughter pay for surgery she desperately needs. Nearly 7 years ago, she had an emergency ceaserian, followed by an unplanned hysterectomy, as her life was at risk. About 3 months later a small hernia appeared, caused by stitches not holding, and she was told it would be fixed but wasn't urgent. Over the last 6 years it has got so big it affects her every day life very badly and she has had sepsis because of it. The NHS said they would do it once her bmi was right, but then failed to do so. Now thr majority of her colon and bowel and part of her bladder are outside her body cavity, this photo was taken over a year ago and its much worse now. My daughter now needs bariactric surgery to get her bmi to the level required, initially the NHS were going to do this, now they aren't, so she has found a private surgeon and has surgery booked for September. This is going to cost £12,000, she has been saving up but needs this doing now, as the hernia is in danger of rupture. She is only 36, and has been so badly let down, I want to do all I can to help her pay for the surgery she needs to be able to live a normal life. The NHS will do the hernia repair once her bmi is what they require, which they could have done 6 years ago before it got so bad. Walking is difficult and she can't run or play with her son like other Mum's, it seriously affects her self esteem and mental wellbeing too. Please help me to help her.
