Bub requiring gastroschisis surgery

Donation protected
At my 12 week ultrasound it was confirmed that our baby girl has gastroschisis, gastroschisis is an abdominal wall defect, meaning that the intestine and bowel are outside of her body. As she has grown, more of her stomach content has came out. I am now 32  weeks pregnant and due to the findings of her being undersized she needs to be monitored more regularly, which will mean up to 2 trips to Melbourne hospitals, to have scans done and see specialists..traveling from Ballarat,relying on others because I don't have reliable transportation to take, parking fees and all costs that come with It, including missing alot of work, due to needed appointments makes things difficult . I have a 8 year old son and am still working, but due to the requirements and busy rush working in hospitality it is becoming to be very tiring and financially is beginning to put pressure on our everyday life, because I have lost my parenting payment and am now on new start which is a dramatic drop,  I try to gather more hours to make up for , but am left fatigued and stressed out. Our baby will be in hospital for a minimum of 4 weeks which will cost alot in trips over the next ten weeks not to mention the emotional exhaustion, accommodation, we hope to have some help with, as we live so far away and she will be transferred to the Royal children's hospital where she needs to be monitored and treated by special doctors, she will be born at 36 weeks if not earlier and I would like at least some stress before hand taken away from the situation so I can focus on our baby and I can have time off work to rest before our long journey with her outside of the womb begins, instead of feeling that if I stop working now I will put
too much pressure on us financially, please Keep our baby in your prayers, I hold onto alot of hope xx

We are 1000$ away from being able to buy a reliable family car we have been aiming for, if anyone could help, it would be greatly appreciated xx
