helmet therapy

Donation protected

hi I'm shanielle, a single mother of a beautiful 8 month year old little girl.

when she was born she was born with a slightly smaller head In size but nothing to be concerned about overall a completely healthy baby and we only spent 24hr in hospital at birth. But as she started to grow at about 4 weeks my midwife and me had noticed she wasn't able to turn her head to the left and was only sleeping facing to the right.. So I was referred to a physio. we worked with the pysio for over 6 months on the tightness within her neck doing stretches and getting her to look to left. we now have successfully got movment in the left hand side and shes able to look completely to left. The physio is completely satisfied with this outcome and has stopped treatment due to my daughter not needing it anymore but was advised now to seek an assessment done on the shape of her head as sleeping only to the right had caused her head to push down and go flat on one side. I then went to my gp with this and he sent a referral off to westmeads children's hospital with a write up explaining everything from physio but was declined due to them not funding helmet theory which they instructed she'll need I was given a list of private othotics as Medicare doesn't cover it.

I have since then seen zortex othotics by design and paid $220 to get a 3D imaging done on her head to get an assessment done and messuments done to confirm 100% she need it to have the messuments ready so we can go ahead with it. In conclusion we found out she will 100% be needing it and she in the extreme category.

she will be needing to order the helmet as soon possible but I'm unable to come up with the costs i have tried seeking fundingbut was unable to get any for a baby. , All up for 3 months worth of treatment and the helmet it's going to cost $2940. I'm needing help, I need to get this ordered asap because as she gets older her fontanel closes and once this happens the helmet therapy won't work.



if anyone could help in any way possible it would be extremely appreciated.



i have put an extra $500 to cover the cost of transactions fees so I'm able to get the full amount out.
