Raising funds to help Analu recover from a traumatic birth, health issues, and welcome baby Amelie without worrying about the bills.
Gisborne
Our friends Analu and Edison have just welcomed their daughter, Amelie, filling their lives with love. However, their path to parenthood has been full of unexpected challenges.
Analu's pregnancy required her to step away from her business, Koru, earlier than expected, leaving Edson to juggle additional responsibilities. In the final weeks, Analu's condition worsened, requiring Edson to focus entirely on her care, further impacting their work and increasing financial strain.
The baby arrived overdue after a long and painful labor lasting four days. Analu faced severe pain and couldn't eat or sleep. On May 13, she was admitted to the hospital, and on May 14, she required an epidural. Due to a rare condition, the anesthesia was ineffective. On May 17, she underwent a C-section, feeling every part of the procedure, which was both physically and psychologically traumatic.
Post-surgery, Baby Amelie is healthy, but Analu's recovery has been complicated by health issues such as fluid retention and blood pressure problem. She remained hospitalized for weeks and returned home on May 30.
Throughout this time, Edson has been the primary caregiver, with help from family.
However, the financial strain is big, with both personal and business expenses piling up. They urgently need support for essentials like rent and food & bills. Edson can't return to work as his focus is Analu & Amelie.
Your contribution, no matter how small, will make a world of difference.
Thank you for your generosity!
Family from heart
Currently, they have no income, so the money will be used to cover essential expenses such as rent, food, medicine, and basic necessities for the baby (formula and nappies, as Analu has been unable to breastfeed).
A big thanks for all love & support 14 June 2024
Lovely Friends & Community,
It is beautiful to see friends, family, and clients coming together to support this wonderful family. It shows they are loved and not alone.
I went there this week to drop off some food and had a quick opportunity to see Analu and Amelie. As they are still recovering, visits are a bit limited. Your support through Givealittle has filled Analu and Edson with so much love and gratitude. Although the funds haven’t been transferred to their bank account yet as they will only receive them next month, they have received some help from Brazil, and some friends have sent direct assistance, allowing them to manage so far.
The page is still up, and we are still raising funds for them so they can get through this moment with less burden, as the bills don't stop and are piling up.
A big thanks to Symeia; when she is home on her days off, she looks after Analu and baby Amelie, so Edson can complete some of the work he has taken on. Well done, Edi, for being the mental support, husband, father, mother, and provider during this time while Analu is still recovering. But soon, she will be back to normal, recovered, and healthy.
As a client, your help and patience have been a big support. As friends and family, your help of any type has helped them feel loved and lifted during this challenging time.
To those of my friends and family who don't know Analu and Edson but still donated or shared, you are angels whom I love so much. Thank you all.
