I know everyone wants to help so this is just a small part we can help with. Anything is appreciated thank you so much 🥰

Wellington, Upper Hutt City

My beautiful cousin Chelsea, and her Husband, Craig recently on the 17th of April 2023 had their third baby. The last piece to their puzzle, with having Marlee and Hudson their older two precious children.

Koen was 1 week old when Chelsea had to race him down to A&E where they quickly got taken into Wellington ICU. It turned out poor little one week old koko had contracted a wee urine infection which turned into meningitis, he’s been fighting for his life along side his amazing team of doctors and nurses and of course the strongest people I know Chels & Craig.

Koko had a MRI scan last night which showed fluid on his little brain so he is having to go to starship Hospital in Auckland today where he may need to have surgery.

Let’s take the pressure off these amazing humans and pray for our baby 🥰🥰🥰
