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.

"EASY DOES IT" 25 October 2024
The above title says it all...
Since the last admission into Hospital, Trinity has battled with trying to get on top of an infection that she contracted whilst in there ( regrettably this is a common occurance and yet another reason why she is reluctant to go into said place ) ending up with us having to pay yet again 🤑🤑🤑 for Antibiotics that are NOT funded,, surprise, surprise. Anyway a month or so on it looks like they have finally managed to topple this one and so our girl can occassionally manage to get down to the paddock and spend some treasured time with her one true love and her motivation to continue to fight this fight, & occassionally (very rare) she & Vinnie manage to pull one out of the bag as they did recently, by competing in a local Equestrian Competition, 3 classes entered & 3 placings 🏅🏆🏅The fact that this amazing Duo manage to do this when they have such limited time together is nothing short of miraculous,, so so proud.
As far as the Health System & their so called "Specialist Teams" are concerned?? Well head over to; https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61551410426812&mibextid=ZbWKwL
for example of treatment and attitude of these People that took a "pledge to Care" 🤣😂
No wonder our Angel has lost all faith in these people and then when life is really kicking us a curve ball, we come on here and read the messages received from all you Angels and that inspires us to continue our battle. THANK YOU.. 🙏🙏😍
