Hi, my name is Natalie, and I’m the mum of a beautiful baby boy named Nate.
Nate was born healthy, but shortly after birth he became seriously unwell. He spent two long months in hospital, where he endured countless tests, treatments, and setbacks. It was an incredibly frightening time. Eventually, we learned that Nate has a rare condition called Glucose-Galactose Malabsorption (GGM)—a lifelong disorder that means he can’t tolerate even the smallest amounts of glucose or galactose in food or drink.
This condition makes feeding incredibly complex and risky. Every meal must be carefully homemade from scratch with safe, low-sugar ingredients. Even cross-contamination from shared utensils could make Nate very ill. We're currently weaning him onto solids, and the amount of work—and stress—this involves is hard to put into words.
To make this more manageable and to keep Nate safe, I’m hoping to raise funds for a few key items:
A chest freezer to store homemade baby-safe meals
A food processor to quickly and safely prepare purées and soft textures
An air fryer for easy, safe cooking without needing shared appliances
New kitchen utensils to avoid any risk of contamination
These tools would make a huge difference in managing Nate’s care from home. They’d give us peace of mind, save precious time, and help me keep Nate healthy and thriving.
If you’re able to support us—whether by donating or sharing this page—we would be so incredibly grateful. Thank you for being part of Nate’s journey, and for helping us give him the best possible start despite everything he’s already been through.
If we’re lucky enough to exceed our goal, any extra funds will go toward other essentials that help us prepare and store Nate’s food safely as he grows
With love,
Natalie & Nate
