Vital Transport for The Rea Family

In December 2019 my good friends Brad & Christie welcomed their 5th beautiful daughter into this world. Only days after arriving home from hospital baby Imogen became dangerously ill. She was rushed by ambulance to the John Hunter Hospital in Newcastle Australia in a critical condition. Within 36 hours she had to undergo life saving emergency brain surgery. She spent some weeks in Neonatal Intensive Care and Paediatric Intensive Care while she was stabilised before and after surgery.

Imogen was diagnosed with an extremely rare and aggressive form of brain cancer. As a result, the medical staff quickly began urgently needed treatment. The family are seeking prayers for her full recovery.

We have watched, hoped and prayed for Imogen and her family for almost 18 months now and allthose who have invested can only be amazed at how a family can continue to function under the circumstances.

But as Lady Luck would have it the family suffered a great loss around the same time Imogen was born and that was their main form of family transportation, the trusty Kia Carnival. And although it was only a miracle that they managed to drive it with a blown head gasket, late last year it finally gave up.

With the lack of time or funds to address the situation I am now seeking your help to get the family back on the road. I have sought help and advice from a local wholesaler who is willing to help us source a good vehicle at his cost.

For all of us who have been looking for another way to support this incredible family, now is the time to take action and put our love on display.

Any and all donations are appreciated and welcomed. If you would like more information on how you can be a part of this awesome project please contact me for further details.

My name is Ben McLaren and I have known Brad since high school days. Today the Rea family and I are part of the same church community and I just can’t wait to be able to source them the right vehicle for their needs and hand it to them on behalf of all of you beautiful people. Please note, i obtained the permission of the family before starting this fundraiser. If you have any questions, please reach out.

Thank You and Kindest Regards

Ben McLaren
