We’ve got you Chloe!

Dear friends and family,

I’m reaching out to share that my sister, Chloe, is seriously ill with Steven’s-Johnson Syndrome/TEN, a rare and life-threatening condition that requires extensive medical care. She developed this after starting a new medication.

Chloe was flown to a Perth hospital last Saturday and is currently in an isolated unit receiving round-the-clock care from a team of specialists including nurses, doctors, immunologists, dermatologists, pain relief consultants, dietitians, and ophthalmologists.

We are grateful that my friend Sarra is in Perth to support Chloe, her partner Hayden, and their 17-month-old daughter, Lily. My mum and I are struggling with being far away, especially since Chloe and Hayden have no family in Australia. I am working on getting to Perth, but I’m asking for your help to ease their financial burden during this crisis.

Hayden is taking time off work to care for Lily and support Chloe in the interim but will eventually need to return to work in Kalgoorlie. This means Hayden will have to travel back and forth between the two locations. While we aren't aiming for a specific amount, all funds raised will assist with ensuring Hayden has the means to look after Lily and care for Chloe.

I won’t be posting photos of Chloe but will provide regular written updates. Your support can significantly impact Chloe's recovery, which is likely to be long, and ease their family’s strain.

Every bit helps, we truly appreciate your kindness.

With gratitude,

Jen xx
