Help Maple on her Medical Journey
Donation protected
Hi, our names are Laura and Frank and we are fundraising for our daughter Maple as she goes through life as a medical patient.
Maple was diagnosed in the womb with a range of medical issues and was born prematurely at 35 weeks on April 23. She spent 8 weeks in NICU before transferring to the Children’s Hospital at Westmead for a further stay. She finally came home on July 15.
We have been in and out of hospital every week (sometimes multiple times) ever since and will continue to do so for most of her life.
Today she is 7 months old and has been diagnosed with Cornelia De Lange Syndrome amongst a long list of other medical concerns.
We have luckily just been granted support by the NDIS for some of Maples needs however, up until this point we have been left out of pocket and struggling to keep ourselves afloat.
The funds we raise here will be used to help cover our rent, bills and groceries during this time.
We want to personally thank each and everyone of you in advance.
Laura, Frank and Maple.
