We are creating this page as our beautiful friends Russ and Toni deserve all the support for their gorgeous daughter Indie, 22 months old.
Martinborough, Wellington
The journey Indie has been on so far in her short life has not been easy. She has been in and out of hospitals since birth receiving treatments and having numerous surgeries. Indie is currently tube fed, prior to this she was vomiting after most feeds resulting in malnourishment to the point her hair and teeth were falling out. On the daily basis she is in pain which results in little and unsettled sleep. After hundreds of tests and ongoing investigations Indie is still without a diagnosis.
Indie has just spent three weeks at an intensive therapy centre for children in Australia. The Centre of Movement is a paediatric rehabilitation centre that involves a team of specialists that will help re-wire, strengthen and create new neural pathways through neuroplasticity to find ease, coordination, new transitions and movements to help build more strength and independence. During Indies first 3-week intensive programme she has already mastered rolling and is now learning to sit independently. This has given Russ and Toni hope for Indie’s future so she can meet her potential and exceed everyone’s expectations.
The specialists have recommended that Indie returns to the Centre of Movement in Australia three more times before her third birthday (October 2025) with each trip costing $20,000 to $25,000. By reaching out and making this givealittle page this could be made possible for them.
Thank you so much for supporting Indie on her journey.
Long term friends of Toni and Russ
The funds will go towards more intensive therapy sessions, flights, accommodation and big sister Zahli (3) joining her family on Indie’s treatment journey.
