Avril and Hayden’s Heart Princess 💕
This is a small way we can help to alleviate some of the financial and mental stress that Avril and Hayden are feeling at the moment.
Southland
My niece Avril and her partner Hayden are due to meet their baby girl on May the 3rd, but unfortunately she will be born by cesarean prior to due date as she needs to have a team of surgeons to welcome her.
Their princess has heart defects which fortunately were picked up in earlier scans. She has Coarctation of the Aorta, Ventricular Spetal Defect, Bilateral SVC and Dysplastic Pulmonary Valves.
Thankfully a plan has been actioned for Avril and Hayden and they are currently in Auckland where their baby girl will be born and will have the surgeries she needs to make her heart strong enough to eventually come home, where her brothers Bentley and Slade will meet her.
Ronald McDonald house have been taking amazing care of Avril and Hayden while away from their loved ones and their home in Invercargill. With the Covid-19 pandemic and Lock down occurring at the same time as they were preparing to head away it has meant that Avril and Hayden have been financially strained for some time and meeting mortgage payments and ongoing utility debts has been hard, and with no guarantees when they will return home and to work, the added stress is far from ideal.
As with the rest of NZ times are mentally and financially tough and there is no expectation for anyone to donate but if you can by chance spare anything to help, it would be much appreciated.

Use of funds
Funds will be used to make mortgage payments and other household bills as well as anything that their baby girl may need when she returns home.

So much beauty in the world 💕 22 May 2020
Hey Guys,
Just thought we would give eveyone a wee update on how Kaila is doing. Her heart is Sorted and her stat levels remain great! We did run into a wee issues with her vocal cords/voice box. The nerve that controls the left vocal cord runs right behind the Aorta, so they are thinking it may have been bumped during Surgery. Bonus is that it is not completly Severed! But it has effected her ability to take the bottle. So while we are learning new ways to bottle feed her its a slow road, Her vocal cord could repair itself within weeks, months or even years but will be closly monitered which means visits to Dunedins ENT team and possibly even Christchurch at some stage. We have been here coming up 8 weeks now which has been extremly challenging during lockdown. On top of being away from Our boys Slade and Bentley, the comforts of home and the support of our family, Our mate Oscar was put down which has just been heart breaking for everyone.
Thanks to everyone for the continuing support and those special people who have gone above and beyond to help. We are so thankful and overwhelemed by the Kindness and Generosity of Everybody, Words or actions will never be able to explain how much our family appericate everything.
Love The McNamara/Moeke Family 💕
