9 babies and us
Donation protected
3 months ago we opened our door and hearts to 3 beautiful boys, while their mum was in hospital for bowel surgery due to having Crohn's disease.
Unfortunately it wasnt so straight forward and she had a few hurdles to jump to get to surgery so this process took a few months.
Not only did Marnie suffer from Crohn's disease but she also had pulmonary fibrosis as well as osteoporosis.
Unfortunately on the 15th of July, 5 days after Marnies bowel surgery she lost her battle to a chest infection in her lungs (pneumonia)
Marnies has 5 gorgeous children aged between 5 and 12 (13 next week)
Her wish was to have all her babies living together.
Being the fighter she was, over the school holidays she made sure she was seeing them everyday, she lived for her babies.
Prior to surgery Marnie asked us if something went wrong with the surgery, would we take on all 5 of her children so they could grow up together, stay at their schools and be loved as much as we love them.
We agreed to fulfill her wishes and this was court approved.
Alittle bit about us ... we are a family of 6, two adults 4 children.
We are not well off but live comfortably enough for the 6 of us. We still rent our house, have car loans we are paying as well as raising our children, just like most families are these days. ll 5 children are now in our care, bringing our family to 9 children.
So many beautiful souls have asked what we need or what they can do to help us.... so we decided the best thing would be to make a go fund me.
Raising 9 children (youngest being 2) is not going to be easy or cheap. Helping us to get off to the best start possible would be the greatest thing anyone could do for us
