Help Alex & Lina get back on their feet
Donation protected
Hi friends,
I am writing to you, because my dear friends need help.
A few weeks ago my friends Alex & Lina Thomas, paid for a 2nd family car, but they were scammed and lost their money. The bank could not retrieve their funds, because the scammers had already closed their account and made off with the money.
They need a 2nd family car as Lina needs to stay at the Children’s Hospital in Westmead, while their daughter Ava remains in intensive care for 4-6 weeks, following an upcoming operation.
Alex lost his job due to covid and has been out of any steady work for months & months now. Many of you also know they have 3 other kids as well.
If you can help them financially, I know they would appreciate your generosity . Anyone who knows these guys, knows they would never put their hand out to ask for help... but they are always the first to lend anyone else a hand.
If you are able to help them, I have opened a St George bank account for them as follows:
S Bailey
BSB: 112-879
Acc: 452 650 362
I am happy to be open about all the deposits of course, and will inform you of balances and when payment will be made to Alex & Lina.
I have also not told them I am doing this.
More information about Ava:
In relation to their daughter, Ava, she has an extremely rare genetic condition called MPS. Ava was getting headaches and they have recently discovered that Ava’s spinal fluid is being compressed near the back of her neck. So it is not getting through.
She has to have life-saving surgery in a few weeks time. The doctors, however, cannot guarantee whether she will survive, as they have never operated on someone with such a rare condition before. Part of the base of her skull has to be removed.
Her neck will be fused and she will be in a cast for her neck and back for 6 months.
Her hair will have to be shaved off for hygienic purposes. She loves her hair.
This will be her 21st operation however, due to the severity, Ava will have to be kept in an induced coma for some days to allow her brain to heal. Ava is now 6 years old.
Mucopolysaccharidosis I (MPS I) is an extremely rare and horrible genetic disorder that affects how the body breaks down/recycles waste and it leads to organ damage. Essentially, it affects growth and shortens the lifespan of the person. Ava may not live past her teenage years.
Her bones are brittle. Lina tells me that Ava will eventually have to have the corneas replaced in her eyes at some stage as well.
Since Ava’s birth it has been very tough for Alex & Lina and their family. It has been hard for them to function as a normal family and it has been an incredible strain, mentally and financially.
Thank you for taking the time to read and thanks for your generosity.
