Major Heart surgery for single mum - Support needed

$816 donated
Given by 23 generous donors in around 3 months

Support needed for a single mum undergoing major heart surgery and for the recovery afterwards.

Nelson / Tasman

Toni has a disease called Marfan syndrome which affects the main aorta of the heart. She is going to be undergoing open heart surgery to replace the valve to the heart next week.

Toni is a single mum of 3 and will have to stop work for 8 weeks if not longer. The loss of income will affect her greatly and she has had to also find people to look after her children while she is in Wellington and once she's home.

She would greatly appreciate any support you can offer as any little bit helps.

Let's get behind this single mum as she would be the first to help somebody else!

Toni has been a part of my Legacy group/friend and I will be her support person in Wellington while she goes through the operation.

Use of funds

Home help, cost for the kids expenses while she is in Wellington and recovering. Doctors appointments & follow ups, transport as she can't drive for 4-6 weeks.
