Help mend Jai's broken heart
Donation protected
Kerry & Marc have been overwhelmed with lots of love and offers of support from you all. We as their family and friends have decided to put together this GoFund me page to help raise money which will assist with the financial impact of Jai's recent set back.
For those of you who arent aware, Jai is currently in the Royal Childrens Hospital and will be under going open heart surgery (Wednesday 25th May 2016).
Jai has already endured far more than any young child should ever have to endure. Jai was born with a serious heart defect and absent kidney and his journey has not been smooth sailing to say the least. Out of his 10 years he has spent nearly half of his life in hospital so far. He has already had 3 open heart surgeries to repair and replace multiple valves in his heart and fit him with a pacemaker.
Through Jai's heart condition he suffered two massive strokes under the age of 2, which required him to be without part of his skull twice over a period of a couple of years. As a result of his strokes Jai suffered brain damage and a global developmental delay.
Jai's life for the first 12 months was a day to day battle. But he has shown them all he's a fighter and he is still here to prove them all wrong.
He was cared for by the most amazing doctors and nurses in the royal childrens hospital and we know that they will again help Jai through this current set back.
With your love and support we know that Jai will bounce back from this even cheekier and more mischievious than ever. We have no doubt we will see him back at our stadiums with more bounce in his step than ever!
The money that we hope to raise will go toward incidental costs such as parking, tolls, petrol to and from the hospital, future specialist appointments and all of those inevitable expensives that will occur.
Kerry and Mark can not thank everybody enough for loving Jai and accepting him just the way he is. He is truely a gift and Im sure you will all agree that its our turn to help the Barnard family who ALWAYS reach out to anyone in need and let them efeel the love and support that they so freely give.
We are all anxious to be able to help as much as we can so this is just a little way that we can help to ease the pressure and show our love and support.
No amount is too small as long as it comes from the heart <3
Thanking you in advance for any help you can give
