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. 💛
I am friends with Danielle and am a fellow IVF Mum

Liam's important update! 21 March 2026
We’re so happy to share a little milestone update on baby Liam 💛
Liam is now crawling! It’s such a special moment for us to see him gaining strength and starting to explore the world in his own way. These little wins mean everything to our family.
We also have an important update on his journey — Liam is now officially on the liver transplant list. While this is a big and emotional step, it brings us closer to getting him the help he needs.
Our next steps will involve a day trip to Auckland, where we’ll have a formal meeting with the transplant team and Liam will undergo an ECHO of his heart. This is to make sure his little body is strong enough for surgery when the time comes.
After that… it’s the waiting game for the call that could change everything.
We are so grateful for all the love, support, and kindness shown to our family. It truly helps us get through each day.
Thank you for being part of Liam’s journey 💛
Thank you so much Helen! Danielle would really like to get in touch with you. Is that OK?
Thank you Moana ❤️
