A breath of fresh air for Vicky

$3,660 donated
Given by 45 generous donors in 4 weeks

Let’s keep Vicky at home with her babies by getting her the machine she needs.

Bay of Plenty

Some of you may or may not be aware that Vicky has been battling lung disease for quite sometime. Her lungs have since collapsed, and she struggles daily to breathe on her own.

Unfortunately, she doesn’t qualify for any type of breathing machine and when her oxygen level gets low, the whanau call an ambulance.

This is definitely not ideal and causes much worry for everyone.

Vicky is in her happy place when she's in the comfort of her own home. To be able to have her own breathing machine, would give both her and the whanau much peace of mind!

Quinton has given up his job to become her full time caregiver and with help from the kids, they all manage to look after Vicky as best they can.

We all know that Vicky and Quinton would never ask for help so we as a whanau can make this happen for them because God knows they deserve it!

Vicky is our beautiful cousin.

Use of funds

Our main goal is to purchase an Oxygen Concentrator. Any extra funds will go towards a pressure pump for hot water supply into the house.

Kia Ora Friends and Whanau

Just wanted to let you all know that we have already managed to source Vicky her very own Oxygen Condensing Machine.

It is taking a bit of getting used to for her, but she will get it sorted and so far they haven't had to call an ambulance so that's a positive!

We have also managed to purchase 2 pressure pumps and a water tank. Hopefully we will have hot running water into the house within the next couple of weeks.

Vicky has now asked me to close the page as she feels people have given enough so I will let it run it's course through to Sunday which is the end of the month.

Before doing so though, we just wanted to let everyone know how much we appreciate all the love support and donations which have been sent. It means so much to Vicky, Quinton and the kids and please know that they have been very very humbled by this! We couldn't have done this without all the kindness and generosity so please again, accept this message as a huge thankyou from the Turanga - Pryor Whanau
