Help Mum & her new Daughter - Husband fighting for his life.

Donation protected
On the 16th of January of this year (2024) I received a panicked call from my very distressed Mum who explained that her new daughter had been born at just 28 weeks gestation. She packed urgently and booked a last minute flight to the Republic of Georgia where her daughter had been born.
My Mum and her Husband Jan underwent the long and difficult process of finding a surrogate and an egg donor so that Jan could have a child of his own.

Finally, after six long weeks Jan was able to join her and meet his daughter Jeneaca for the very first time (He had just finished a back-to-back FIFO swing in Africa to pay for his daughters NICU stay) After their second meeting, Jan fell ill. He was bed-ridden for 5 days until my Mum could get him to a doctor. They saw two doctors who both said that he had a common flu. He then became delirious and Mum managed to get him to a hospital where he was diagnosed with two types of Malaria. He then slipped in to a coma. 

The hospital did not have the facilities to treat Malaria properly so he was airlifted to Turkey for appropriate care. This was on the 30th March. 
He has been in hospital fighting for his life ever since, is sedated, being treated for multiple infections and is on life support. 

To date baby Jeneaca has had two bouts of Necrotizing Enterocolitis, a serious intestinal disease that is common in premature babies. Thankfully she has just been declared clear of it and has reached her due date. She is doing well currently.

Jan has earned enough money to pay for his daughters medical bills and his work insurance are covering all of his medical costs at this point. We are very grateful for this, however there will be no more income and the future hangs in the balance. Mum needs urgent financial aid to continue to keep a roof over their heads and to pay her bills, accomodation and living costs while so far away from home and for their flights home eventually.

My Mum's world has fallen apart, she's halfway across the world and her family's future hangs in the balance. Every bit of support no matter how small will help make a difference. Thank you for reading this far. <3
