Fundraising for my daughter's surgery
Hi everyone,
We have setup a Give-a-little page to help fundraise for my daughter, to have a major surgery in America that will change her life.
Faith was diagnosed with Spastic Quadriplegic Cerebral Palsy, and she has been doing physiotherapy since she was a toddler. Although she worked so hard with physio and exercises every day, it is heart breaking to see Cerebral Palsy increasingly affecting her whole body as she grew older.
This major surgery is called Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy (SDR)
The SDR will reduce her spasticity, allowing her to have a better control of her body, to reduce her pain and help her gaining abilities to be more independent in moving from one position to another.
SDR will not cure Cerebral Palsy, but it will give her huge chance to have a better quality of life.
Because this surgery is not funded by the NZ government, we aim to raise $150,000 in total. The cost will cover the surgery, the intensive physiotherapy that she need immediately after, plus accommodation and flights.
Please read her story, please share her story,
and please, please donate to help us change Faith’s life. We thank you and forever grateful from the bottom of our hearts.
God bless you.
Yours sincerely,
Jessica, John, Faith and Nathan
