We're hoping to help the Hill family raise enough to pay for their passed away babys' Mickey Mouse head stone.

Bay of Plenty

The Hill family is a young family from Taupo, they have been through so much stress and loss and were hoping to raise enough to help lighten the weight on their shoulders and help pay for their babies Mickey Mouse headstone .

Mickey Mouse is Tyrese favourite cartoon his face would light up with big smiles every time it comes on t.v. He was always a very happy child with a beautiful soul. His parents toke him on adventures just about every weekend exploring most of the north island from zoos to aquariums and beaches.

Elle gave birth to their 2nd child Jacob at 34 weeks, they were in special care unit for 5 days before being allowed home. They knew If they had another baby it would be the same. So she decided to use several forms of birth control to prevent getting pregnant. But 9 months later she found out she was pregnant again but this time it was something different she had an ectopic pregnancy. She had to get 1 of her falopian tubes taken out with also a little treatment of chemo. She was told there was a very small chance of getting pregnant again after that.

In 2015 elle found it she was pregnant again and they were stoked. Cianna was born at 32 weeks on the 23rd December 2015. They spent nearly 2 months in Rotorua hospital in the special care baby unit. Travis had to take some time of work to mind their son jacob while Elle and Cianna was in the hospital.

In 2016 Elle got pregnant again with their 4th baby Ashlyn.

She gave birth to her in August but it all went wrong. Elle had a placenta acreta, The placenta attached itself too deeply and firmly into the uterus. In these conditions, the placenta doesn’t completely separate from the uterus after giving birth. This causes dangerous bleeding. These conditions happen in about 1 in 530 births each year. She lost her entire volume of blood in her body. Travis and family were told she only has a 30% chance of waking up. And the only way to save her life the surgeons had to give her a full hysterectomy. She eventually woke up not knowing what happened to see her gorgeous baby girl. And was very upset with what had happened.

On the night Elle woke up, her new born baby chocked on her own mucus and turned blue. The team of doctors had to perform CPR to make her breath again. She was ok after a few very long stressful minutes.

Elle and Travis have been dealing with so much stress since 2013 when their first born son passed away.
