Help us take care of Cillian when he needs heart surgery
Auckland
Cillian was born in July 2021 and was diagnosed with congenital heart disease.
Cillian is the most happiest, sweetest little boy who despite everything is always smiling. He is a joy in everyone’s lives.
His aortic valve has 2 instead of 3 flaps which creates narrowing called stenosis. He underwent his first open heart surgery in September at 6 weeks old after presenting to emergency and his most current check up showed narrowing occurring again.
Cillian will need multiple surgeries throughout his lifetime and will most likely need a complicated valve replacement at his next surgery in the coming months.
Bostons children’s hospital is the best hospital in the United States for heart defects and our aim is to seek a second opinion and treatment options there, however if we don’t raise enough funds or surgery comes earlier than expected then the funds would be used for everyday expenses and bills so Cillian’s parents can take time off work to be with Cillian in hospital during surgery and recovery.
Should we raise enough funds we aim to travel to Boston children’s hospital for specialist treatment. If we do not raise enough the funds will be spent on everyday expenses so that Cillian’s parents can take time off work to be with Cillian in starship.

We are sre hoping to raise enough money to seek a second opinion at Boston Children’s hospital for treatment. If not enough funds are raised, this would cover day to day finances while Cillian is in hospital for surgeries and allow his parents to take time off work to be with him
