All kids deserve a safe place to play, help build Indie a safe playground custom made for her size and safe from illnesses.
Wellington
Kids love to be outdoors and play with other kids, playgrounds can be places full of joy and laughter. Sadly playgrounds aren't a safe place for Indie to play, Indie is very very small for her age at 14 months old she's the size of a 3 month old and is battling with illnesses.
This makes playgrounds dangerous for Indie for two reasons, any germs from other children can cause Indie to get incredibly sick quickly and loose what little weight she has and secondly standard playgrounds aren't build for tiny Indie to use. Indie loves exploring and adventuring just like any 14 month old does but steps are too hide, gaps are too wide and swings are too big.
Being susceptible to illnesses also means Indie isn't allowed to attend daycares or public play spaces. We want to build Indie a safe playground at home so she can experience all the fun other kids have without the risk of getting hurt. With the likely addition of a feeding tube it will be extra important to keep Indie healthy so having a playground at home means we can monitor what children Indie plays with while still giving her the chance to live like a most other kids.
The money will be spent on building a natural playground for Indie to explore and use safely, any surplus will be used for medical expenses.
The next step! 8 September 2018
Thank you everyone so much for your donations so far! We plan to build the playground for Christmas.
It's been a crazy few weeks we were admitted to hospital for 5 days for observation and the insertion of a ng tube. We returned home for 18 hours and had to return to the ward with vomitting and diahorea. Unfortunately while on the ward Indie vomitted up the tube twice which was traumatic for all of us.
We are now home and learning a new life and how to manage 16 hours a day on the pump.
We have had a weight gain of 450 grams which is AMAZING! But we have been told that this is a long slow process so looking at at least a year on the pump maybe more.
