Grow Baby Gracie

Donation protected
My name is Amy, a friend of the Bone family, who have recently welcomed their extremely premature daughter Gracie into the world at 23 weeks gestation.

The Bone family have had what can only be described as a bloody tough journey to parenthood. All three of their daughters were born prematurely, Hazel was born at 34 weeks and is now 4 years old, their second daughter Willow was born at 27 weeks and had a long medical journey before they devastatingly lost her quite suddenly just one day before her first birthday, and now their third little girl is fighting the hard fight in NICU after being born at just 23+4 weeks gestation.

The Bone family have a long road ahead with Gracie likely spending many months in hospital as she grows bigger and stronger. The family live rurally, over 5 hours from the hospital, which means they will have to relocate to Adelaide and up-root their life long-term causing a significant financial burden and hardship, as well as disruption to work for Dylan and Emma, and schooling for Hazel. On top of this, Emma has already spent a large amount of time away from home in Adelaide during Gracie's high-risk pregnancy.

This Go Fund Me has been created to relieve some of the financial pressure as they navigate NICU life away from home and their support network. If you know the Bone family, you'll know they're the first to give back and support others, so much so that they've spent countless hours fundraising for their favourite charity Running for Premature Babies, with Emma running an ultra-marathon and Dylan rallying their local community to personally contribute thousands to this cause. As much as they struggle to personally accept the help, it's time for us to give back to this selfless and brave family.

The most heartfelt thankyou to everyone who contributes, every little bit counts and will go a long way ❤️

*The money raised from this fund-raiser goes directly to the Bone family as beneficiaries*
