Help Amari-Jade go to therapy & gain mobility 🩷

Massey, Auckland

My daughter was born on 07/11/2023. What I thought would be the best day of my life, turned out to be the worst. There were no red flags during pregnancy or even birth all the way up to when it was time to push. My midwife told me baby was getting stressed and that I had to push harder. I had been in labour for 10+ hours so I felt like I had nothing left in me, I even told her to “f***** pull her out!” No one intervened, I pushed her out myself and as a result she was born unexpectedly flat. Nothing could have prepared me for this! It took approximately 10 minutes to bring her back. This has resulted in life long disabilities; mainly severe HIE, spastic quad CP and epilepsy. Doctors/neurologists told me the damage was too much and basically to let her go because her life would have no quality. I chose to keep her by my side because at the end of the day, no one can tell me what her life is worth and I would die for her. The reason I’m doing this is to pay for a three week intensive therapy programme so that she can gain some mobility as she’s currently not able to move around on her own which breaks my heart daily. Imagine a doctor telling you your baby will never walk, talk or feed themselves then imagine what you would do to change that! We have privately raised $3000 already, and the total cost is $8,100. Any koha is appreciated. There’s also a raffle pinned on my Facebook page- Jahden Marie that is open to the public! NGĀ MIHI 🩷🩷

I would like to thank every single person that has donated and left us a kind message, it honestly means the world to us! It has been such a humbling and eye opening experience to receive so much love from both friends and family and strangers. It was quite hard for me to open up so much and let the world in on my daughters disabilities and struggles but now I see that it is worth it and there are people that really care. We are over halfway to our goal please keep sharing and once again, thank you all!!! If you would like to follow Amari Jades journey through Therapy feel free to private message me on my Facebook: Jahden Marie; and I will send video and photo updates as I am not publicly sharing EVERYTHING 🩷 Therapy date: 06/10-23/10
