Oceans gastric sleeve journey
To get Ocean overseas to get surgery to prolong her life
Levin, Manawatu-Wanganui
Ocean has battled with weight all her life, she's been trying her hardest to get the weight off but it's not budging. She's now become more self aware of her weight and it's only just now starting to bug her.
The weightloss will help Ocean with her sleeping/snoring, her asthma and her anxiety.
Ocean will be going to Turkey to have the surgery done through Apera.
Surgery, food, accommodation and airport transfers are all inclusive of the surgery price of $2800usd then we have flights for both Ocean and I as her support person which can range from $1700 to $2300 per person return.
We are making merch to help fund this and looking into Kiwisaver withdraw so we aren't solely relying on the generosity of the public to help her live a more healthier happier life.
Your support will mean the world to her and to us as her whānau ❤️
