My name is Adelle and I have organised this fundraiser for Shelly, Luke, Billie and Bobbi to support them through this challenging time so that money is one less burden for them.

I have had the pleasure of working with Luke and Shelly in the past. They are both incredibly humble, hardworking people and right now, they need our support.

Shelly had their beautiful baby girl - Bobbi Ria at 26 weeks gestation, weighing a total of 0.977g. This is a really cruel twist of fate after Shelly has so bravely battled through with hyperemesis gravidarum.   Shelly is currently recovering from her complicated c-section birth, Luke is by her side whilst he can be and as big sister Billie is so young herself, she will be needing all of the love, support and cuddles from their loved ones, I am sure this is a confusing time for her. Ongoing covid and border restrictions have really made this time even more challenging for this little family as they embark on a lengthy NICU stay with their strong little girl.

They say it takes a village, near or far, if you’ve met the Venn’s or haven’t, let’s show our support in whatever way you can to lessen the load for them. Financial burdens during this time should be the last thing on their minds. Luke and Shelly should be focusing on the health of beautiful little Bobbi and being there for the well-being of Billie. Lets hold them while they hold each other.
