Help Amber's family to relieve financial stress

$527 donated
Given by 13 generous donors in 21 days

Fundraising to help the Gibbs/Daisley family while they have been divided between different cities due to surgical reasons.

Canterbury

Amber is a brave 14 year old girl, whom was born with alot of disabilities due to physical abuse on her mum.

Amber has ongoing medical challenges, and her life expectancy will be shorter than a well child.

She has microcephaly, cerebral palsy , scoliosis, epilepsy, gloval development delay, and asthma

She is mentally aware, but stuck in a body that does not work.

Amber has undergone a dozen big surgery's and came out fighting.

Amber's latest surgery , much needed to help her quality of life , on November 20th (Nissan fundiplication + hip surgery + peg and dental work was successful but wee Amber has struggled to bounce back as quick as we would have hoped.

She is still in ICU (25th November 18)

We have had to travel to Christchurch City away from our home town for this, Amber's family have had to work around it all , with time off work and managing other children back in there hometown.

Recovery will take longer , amber's dad being the breadwinner will need more time off work, Amber is not acc funded so our only source of income is amber's dad, whom will need to take more time off to juggle life back home, And be ready to travel to Christchurch for support like he had to yesterday , but has to travel back home today to care for the other children.

Up until today we had a support person but due to her own family had to travel back, we are expecting more family too arrive in Christchurch this week to lend more support to amber and her mum.

We would appreciate any help towards the huge cost that has accured for us as a family .

Any donations will be greatly appreciated, to take the burden and stress away in our time of need.
