Charlee (2) was born with multiple heart problems which requires a transplant.

Canterbury

Charlee (2) was born with an atrioventricular septal defect, unbalanced AV canal, double outlet right ventricle, hypoplastic left ventricle, tetralogy of fallot (four defects) with dysplastic pulmonary valve, a very small main pulmonary artery and ventricular septal defects.

In her short life she has had six operations and her future includes either a heart transplant or a combination heart and lung transplant.

The family is now preparing for August when they will find out what can be done for Charlee.

This could mean relocating to Melbourne, where Charlee might receive a transplant at the Royal Children's Hospital.

The money raised will be used to help get her and her family to Melbourne to get treatment.

On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
