Help support my brother Dan & Sister-n-law Kimberly following the loss of their miracle baby Logan.

Papamoa Beach, Papamoa

After a long journey of trying to start a family, including enduring a miscarriage in Jan 2022 - miracle baby Logan James Hegarty was born on the 14th February 2023 at 31 weeks, 5 days (8 weeks premature).

A few days after Logan’s birth he started to develop seizures and movements that were quite worrying for the doctors. After spending almost a week in Tauranga hospital and the doctors communicating back to Waikato hospital they decided to air lift Logan and his family over to Waikato NICU where they could do further testing. A few days later Kimberly and Dan found out the devastating news that Logan had a severe brain injury and had suffered a fetal stroke.

Logan sadly passed away peacefully in his parents arms on Saturday the 4th March. He was just short of 3 weeks old.

Please donate to this page to support them navigate their life after infant loss and help with any memorial costs etc. Kimberly is an early childhood teacher and returning to work will be a work in progress so please donate and help us make it a little easier for them. Any dollar helps - Thank you.
