Fundraising for 'Verity's Village' in honour of our baby girl Evangeline's first heavenly birthday.

Tauranga, Bay Of Plenty

In October last year we found out at 20 weeks gestation that our baby girl had Edwards Syndrome.(Trisomy 18). At 34 weeks on the 3rd of January Evangeline was born and we had 24 beautiful hours with her. In honour of Evangelines upcoming first heavenly birthday, I want to raise money for 'Verity's Village' a charity that supported me hugely during my pregnancy and still continues to support me now.

Verity's Village support parents like me through:

💜 Resource packages to mums with a prenatal diagnosis

🩵 Pregnancy journals + guidebooks

🩷 Gifts for Mum and baby

💙 Personalised care coordination

💜 Guidance in creating a birth plan

🩵 When needed, detailed assistance in transferring hospitals/care teams

🩷 Free counseling services

💙 Connections + community

💜 Bereavement support

🩵 And more...

Because Verity's Village is a US charity they can't receive funds directly from an NZ account so money will be transferred from our NZ bank account into my husbands US account and onto Verity's Village via the donation function on their website.

Rachel Judd's involvement (page creator)

As mentioned above we were personally impacted by Verity's Village and it was much needed during the hardest time of our lives.

Use of funds

The money will be used by Verity's Village to continue to support other families who receive a prenatal diagnosis.

I will be donating the funds via their website https://donate.veritysvillage.com/donate?amount=35&term=monthly
