Helping fund essential costs related to urgent heart surgery

Taranaki

We’ve set up this give a little page to help cover costs for Boo’s Heart surgery. A year ago she after many hospital visits she was diagnosed with SVT (supraventricular tachycardia). Something that is very common in which boo had a constant heart rate of 130-140 bpm with peaks and glitches sending it flying to 250-300 bpm. Believed to be a quick fix with an ablation surgery. We waited a year with no advances on anything to do with her health and watched it get worse. Soon she was spending 3 days in ED in a row and in a year had been chemically flatlined 9 times in 12 months. We made the decision to go private as her health was getting worse and she had lost her job over it and had to give up many of her hobbies and day to day activities. Unfortunately her ablation surgery was not successful and there were a few more issues than thought when the surgeons got there. What was supposed to be a few nerves burnt off very quickly turned into 15 burnt and no resolution to the problem. Not even a month later we have just had news she is going into another heart surgery on Thursday in Auckland. This time going to the #1 surgeon in Nz.With such a quick turn around between surgery’s it’s unrealistic for us to come up with the money but we know it’s needed so boo can get her quality of life back. Any all all support is gratefully appreciated. Let’s try and get Boo sorted so she can get on with her life

Use of funds
