Nixies tonsil surgery

Given by 17 generous donors in around 6 months

Help to get little nixies tonsils removed

Tauranga, Bay Of Plenty

Ever since nixie was born she has had abnormally large tonsils and adenoids, this causes apnea which means she stops breathing in her sleep. She wakes up 15-20 times per night and this is stoping her body and brain from developing properly. We have been told that there is an extremely long wait for her surgery unless we go private, but the surgery costs $8 thousand dollars and we as a young family just don’t have that. We just want to see our little girl healthy and getting the sleep that she needs to grow up healthy. Thank you so much for your support ❤️

Latest update

Surgery complete   5 March 2025

Hey guys just want to say thank you once again for all of the donations. Nixie has had her surgery and it ended up happening via the public system which was awesome but the funds we raised helped us pay bills and live while we were off work looking after our little one. We greatly appreciate your help x
