💛 Help Support Danielle, Jeremy and Their Little Fighter Liam 💛

A heartfelt fundraiser to support Danielle and Jeremy as they care for Liam, who is bravely battling a rare genetic condition.

Lower Hutt, Wellington

Liam is Danielle and Jeremy’s much longed-for and deeply treasured IVF baby — their tiny miracle after years of heartbreak, hope and determination.

After beginning their IVF journey in 2020, and two public-funded rounds, Liam was their very last embryo — their final chance to become parents. Everything went smoothly until Danielle went into labour early, and their beautiful boy arrived at just 33 weeks.

Soon after his birth, genetic testing revealed that Liam has a rare condition that came back as normal/inconclusive, which can affect the liver, heart, and other parts of the body. It’s a diagnosis no parent ever expects or prepares for.

This week, routine blood tests showed concerning results and Liam was admitted to Wellington Hospital for monitoring while a plan is made for the next steps. It’s likely he will need to be transferred to Starship Hospital in Auckland for specialist care.

Danielle and Jeremy live in Lower Hutt and had just bought their first home before Danielle became pregnant. She’s currently on maternity leave and unable to return to work while Liam is so unwell. Jeremy continues to balance work and supporting his family through this challenging time.

This page has been created to help ease financial pressure so they can focus on what matters most — Liam’s health and healing. Any donation or message of support means the world. 💛

Starship update for Baby Liam   6 December 2025

Hi everyone,

Thank you all so much for your continued love, support, and generosity for Danielle, Jeremy, and baby Liam — it truly means the world.

Last week, Liam spent several days at Starship Hospital undergoing important testing to see if he met the criteria for a liver transplant. On Friday, Danielle and Jeremy received a call from the Starship team letting them know that, at this stage, Liam is not eligible for transplant.

While this was incredibly hard news for the family, Liam will continue to be closely monitored by his community nurse and the hospital team. Danielle and Jeremy remain focused on keeping him as healthy and comfortable as possible while they navigate the next steps in his care.

Thank you again for standing behind this amazing family. Your kindness, donations, and messages of support make an enormous difference during such a challenging time. 💛

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
