Donation protected
On October 8, 2023 my daughter Kaitlin and myself and my partner Kieran.,were overjoyed with the birth of our beautiful daughter kaitlin. As all new parents are, we were excited and anxious to bring our new daughter home and start our time together as a new family. This unfortunately is not the experience we had. From the moment of birth little Kaitlin was placed on a CPAP machine and was examined for an unknown airway obstruction. It was later discovered that Kaitlin's difficulty with breathing and put on oxygen and needed to be transferred to southampton UK hospital from Guernsey chanel Island. We as parents felt hopeless, we did genetic testing to find out what was going on, she was diagnosed with C.H.A.R.G.E syndrome also was born with a cleft lip and pallate. So rather than getting to go home and spend time as a family, we as new parents had to try and pack what we could and are now staying in Southampton, while our daughter is admitted at Princess Ann hospital, for an unknown length of time. This has resulted in unforeseen expenses, for us. I have created this go fund me with the intention to raise money for our expenses such as travel, and food, and rent back home in Guernsey and plane tickets will now need to cover on top of everything else, we are glad we don't need to pay rent thanks to Jo Priaulx and charity premature baby foundation whiles being in soulthampon for myself, and my partner visits when it possible, as he will be needing to come a lot more often for a tracheostomy training as kaitlin will need a tracheostomy to be done to be safe with her airways and we as parents will need to be fully trained and sighed off otherwise kaitlin will not be discharged and needing 2 people for that to happen. for my partner this takes 45 minutes to fly with a plane journey from Guernsey to Southampton. Any donations are helpful and appreciated thank you from myself Sam and partner Kieran.
