Help for battery baby Devon

Janette asks

Would love to hear how baby Devon is doing now that he is in the better care of his father. Hopefully all this money is going to be for Devon and not his mother, who has lost custody of all her children as she has always been an unfit mother behind the false front and lies. Unless it can be proven this money is rightfully going to this beautiful little man and his future, i would suggest not donating!

Surely all costs are covered by ACC and the hospital. The Amanda Hacche I googled owns a few highly priced properties - surely you would liquidate these to fund any financial deficit? Could have the wrong Amanda.

What is the money being used for?

Can we have an update?

Hi Rachael,

I hope this email finds you well.

I just wanted to send a quick message to introduce myself as I'm a writer for Lucky Break magazine here in NZ and I've just been reading about Devon.

I wanted to reach out in support as we'd love to chat with Amanda and share her story in our magazine. Hopefully we can help raise some funds for Devon in the process.

Feel free to pass on my details and hopefully we can put something together in the future.

Warm regards,

Ashley

Hi Rachael

Just want to send lots of love and hugs to Devon. He is a brave little poppet. I really want to send Devon and his sister a little gift but don't want to send the wrong thing.Can you please advise what I can send. He surely had a birthday by now wish I could kiss his face and hug him. Think about Devon every single day. It breaks my heart for him to have such a struggle but send good thoughts and vibes for his recovery. I feel like Devon is OUR boy (everyone who's thinking about him and wishing him we'll) Please can you give us an update. Best wishes to Amanda and the whole family xxxxx

Rachael

Thanks Laura. Yes Devon is now one. Amazing boy in what he has been through already.

Sam asks

I cannot believe how awful someone like that T person can be. This mum is going through enough and only needs supportive words. I spent 5 nights in Starship with my son last month and even in that short time compared to Amanda I get how important it is to go make time for your other kids or just have a break. It was hard wanting to be with both kids at the same time but not being able to. Not that Amanda needs to justify herself to anyone but she's doing the best she can do in a tough situation.

Rachael

Thanks Sam for your kind words and understanding

Well said Sharon. I bet "T" has never walked a mile or even a centimeter in someone shoes or thought about IF this happened to her how their life would be turned upside down. Food for thought T. Food for thought.

Amanda take that special time with your daughter.

Rachael

Thanks Kelly.

Stella asks

I have just read all this, I don't know why Amanda even bothered to reply to this person "T", she is entitled to have breaks from the hospital, she needs to for her own sanity it must be incredibly stressful to see your child unwell, and her other children need her as well. Where she goes and why is none of our business she does not need to explain herself to us. She would not have left him alone to go out with her other kids she has her sister and family supporting her, if this person T had been reading the comments they would know this. Ignore this person don't waste your energy on them, Amanda or Rachael.

Stella.

Rachael

Thank you.

sharon asks

to T, do you not think this lady needs a break and to eat, maybe if you were in her shoes you would have a better understanding, maybe you could provide her and her family a nice meal, or some support, that is also food for thought.

Rachael

Indeed support means a lot. Thank you.

sharon asks

go out and do stuff for yourself and family, you deserve it, many yrs ago my grandson had a very serious accident, he was 8 yrs old, hes 18 now and doing great, but the months in intensive care at his bedside were a nightmare on the whole family, so i have some idea of what yr going thru, myself and friends are making donations for Devon, and our hearts go out to yr family, take no notice of those negative people, i say to them, if you cant say something nice and give a family encouragement and hope, then say nothing at all, there are so many people following baby Devon's progress, and everyone wishes for a speedy recovery, bless you all.

Rachael

Thank you for the kind words of encouragement Sharon

Steven asks

Amanda, go out when you can with your children. Do not listen to T. Anyone who writes derogatory comments like this is a hateful person or doesn't have an understanding of the stress this must put on your entire family network. I'm sure you would trade almost anything to turn back the clock and have this not happen. My wife alerted me to this today and I had to jump in and say something as this kind of bullying is disgraceful. Hold your head high and don't be judged by anyone.

Rachael

Thank you for the support

Amanda asks

In reply to T asks question

here are the details of my time with Devon the last three days:

Friday: 5am until 8am (Dev had surgery this day) from 2.00pm until 2am

Saturday:7.00am until 9.55am, 8.30pm until 3am. Between 10am and 5.30pm Devon was with his father.

Sunday: (Dev woke at 9.15 am) 9am until 11am (Dev slept until 12.30ish) 12pm until right now 10.17pm. (Dev is asleep).

I can get a letter from the hospital staying this.

My daughter has her 6th Birthday this coming Friday (6 March) and from the time wet arrived in Auckland she had been begging to go to the Sky Tower. Anyway I was looking through a free mag at Ronald McDonald House and there was a coupon for a discount on the entry fee to the sky tower. I asked the staff of we could use it and they said to go ahead as they had heaps.

I HATE being too far away from the hospital as I get hugely anxious about Devon but I also knew that he was with his father (it is hours visiting day on Saturday) so I should be something nice for the little girl that has been ripped away from her life.

So after lunch we got the bus ($2, kayla was free) we got off at the skytower and

we went in and children that are 5 or under are free and with my discount coupon I paid $22 to go up.

Mikayla and I got

1 bag of chips

1 piece of chocolate cake

1 chicken sandwich

1 drink

We shared these the total cost was $23.

That isn't really food for thought is it..?

If i was going to Orbit dine - I wouldn't need to pay to go up the tower and I surely wouldn't be taking coupons!

So all up my daughter first day away from the hospital system with me since December 2014 and the visittothe sky tower which is part of her birthday present cost $49!!!! .That includes the bus fares. (Can provide receipts)

Mikayla deserved ever cent I used in that trip. .. and the money came straight out of my credit card and not any donation money.

You have worried me though - even though your facts are wrong - it's fightening that you are stalking my children and I and no one does that to my babies.

Rachael

Amanda.. It is a shame you felt you had to justify yourself to anyone in the situation you face.

T asks

I would like to highlight the phrase "Amanda has been at Devon’s bedside constantly" does that include recently when she has not been by his side for the last couple of days? Perhaps busy at the Orbit restaurant in the Sky Tower? I have found that particular restaurant to deflect those with 'financial hardship' but perhaps that's a matter of perspective. Food for thought Rachael. Food for thought.

Sincerely yours

A concerned party
