Tatum's Journey

Donation protected
Hello to All,
I have put this Go Fund Me together to aid my younger Sister Jessie and her Partner Harley.
Jessie and Harley welcomed to the world Tatum born 10 weeks and 3 days too soon via Emergency C Section weighing only 2.7lbs (1120 grams).
20 weeks into Jessie's pregnancy little Tatum got diagnosed with Tetralogy of Fallot with a Pulmonary Stenosis and huge VSD.
Due to the TOF and fetal growth restrictions Tatum's health started to rapidly decline and he stopped growing in the womb. As a result the Placenta and Umbilical Cord began to die and wasn't allowing blood to flow, further stunting Tatum's growth.
At birth Tatum was lifeless and required resuscitation and was immediately required to be on a ventilator, he has had multiple blood transfusions as well as other extensive medical interventions to keep him in a stable condition.
Tatum has an extremely high risk of Heart failure due to his condition, once he has reached 3kg he will be flown to Royal Children's Melbourne where he will undergo heart surgery to close the VSD as well as surgery on his valve to stop blood from flooding his lungs.
Funds raised will greatly assist Jessie and Harley to be with Tatum throughout his surgeries and whilst he is in NICU.
With the current cost of living it is difficult for them to take off prolonged periods of time from work.
All contributions are greatly appreciated.
