Help Ivy stand tall and breathe easier
Our beautiful granddaughter, Ivy Carly Hollows, is a bright intelligent, kind and deeply caring 12 year old who brings so much light and love into all our lives. She has a gentle heart and strength beyond her years.
Ivy is currently facing a very difficult challenge. She has severe scoliosis, a condition that causes a significant curvature of the spine. This has not only become increasingly painful for her but it is now also affecting her breathing.
She has been fitted with a brace but unfortunately it does not fit properly, which adds to her discomfort and limits how much it will help her. This could lead to her having to have corrective surgery sooner than we would have liked. Watching Ivy cope with daily pain and restricted breathing is very hard especially when she continues to show such courage and resilience.
The costs involved in getting the right care has been overwhelming for her mother. She urgently needs proper medical support, including a correctly fitted brace, specialist care and possibly further treatment to improve her quality of life.
We are reaching out for help to give Ivy the chance to live more comfortably.
Funds raised will go towards….

Funding travel and specialist treatment in Auckland
●Chêneau-style Gensingen brace, designed for 3-dimensional correction. This brace technology has effectively treated curves from mild to severe, even in patients previously recommended for surgery.
If our goal is not met, the funds will go towards as much treatment as possible and an ergo lift recovery bed.
Thanks so much Nikki.
