LIFE SAVING SURGERY REQUIRED, "URGENT"
"LIFE SAVING SURGERY" only available in Germany.
Napier, Hawke's Bay
Trinity is just 19yrs old and needs URGENT lifesaving surgery. She has a connective tissue disorder that affects the collagen that runs through her body creating havoc + She has been confirmed with AVCs, Abdominal Vascular Compressions, which affects the blood flow to her organs & prevents her being able to hold food down & absorb nutrition. These Compressions are threatening her life if left untreated. Surgery is not available in N.Z.
$180,000 raised means Trinity can receive the lifesaving surgery at the Clinic Bel Etage in Düsseldorf with leading Vascular Surgeon Prof Sandmann & his Specialised team of Clinicians who have confirmed the urgency for treatment.
Trins life is one of constant pain, fatigue, nausea, blackouts, weakness, weight loss & malnutrition, all due to the inability to eat or drink without vomiting, pain & distress.
Trin is an avid equestrian, loves deeply & is loved by all that meet her. She is kind, passionate & lives for her horses. She dreams of life free of pain, the ability to eat, a life where she can dress without having to try & hide tubes hanging from her body, a life of quality.
The family have fought long & hard for 18 years within N.Z’s health system, however feel very let down as there is no longer support here, the only option is to get Trin overseas for the complex surgery required.The family is very grateful for the public’s help to raise the $180k to save Trinity's life.

So,, here we are. The last 3months base summary of Medical supply costs (Non funded by our wonderful Health System) for our girl. This does NOT include Drs visits, Hydration, travel expense etc etc. & Yes, it is True, we chose to have the Hickman line inserted for Trinity (against the so called advise of Certain Medical Heads, so she could at least be given hydrational support and an additional access port (if required).
Interestingly enough, shortly after this was done, Trinity had an emergency admission & surgery at the DHB which regrettably ended with her contracting yet another infection and .... wait for it..... a request by Medical Team to access her Hickman line so as to treat,, go figure eh? and yet they still claim this line is not necessary, so until such time as we can get our girl strong enough to make the trip to Germany for the surgery she so desperately needs we shall continue on working and funding as best we can to make things at least a little bit more tolerable for our girls.
