Support for Zahnee for overseas treatment and evaluation of Zahnees PHACES Syndrome.
Bay of Plenty
Come on guys! Lets support Zahnee!
Zahnee is now 9 years old and was born with an extensive vascular facial hemangioma, also know as PHACES Syndrome. This has caused many medical issues for Zahnee and has required a lot of medical treatment.
Zahnee has been invited to attend a conference in California (USA) by top leading medical professionals that specialise in PHACES Syndrome. Not only will she be able to have a complete PHACES valuation done and have recommendations made for a future plan for her corrective facial plastic surgery on her disfiguring birthmark, she will be spending a day learning the tools to be able to open her own chapter here in NZ of the world wide Vascular Birthmark Foundation by learning the latest in diagnosis and treatment.
Zahnee (along with help from her mum) will then be able to educate other affected families by providing advocacy and astablishing a website for these families to access here in NZ.
This is an amazing opportunity for Zahnee and by your support we could promote much needed significant awareness here around facial deformities and less of the ignorance and discrimination!
I am Zahnees mum.
