Throw Abbey out of a plane to raise money for Ella's life altering surgery!

Auckland

Skydive Auckland is helping fundraise for Ella Yearbury.

Ella was born at 25 weeks, weighing 800 grams and was given a slim chance of ever leaving hospital. She has life-long conditions as a result of her prematurity; Cerebral Palsy, Hydrocephalus and Epilepsy. Ella has been accepted to undergo Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy (SDR) at St Louis Children's Hospital in America. Her surgeons believe that Ella will be able to walk with crutches and possibly independently – giving her a whole new quality of life.

Help me raise over $600 for Ella and I will send Abbey flying with a tandem 13,000 ft Skydive with Skydive Auckland.

I met Ella a year ago when I became her Support worker. Every day I am with her, I see her strength and courage as she faces multiple challenges with her health and physical abilities but through it all she is so strong and independent and I know she would cherish the opportunity to be able to stand tall and walk proud. I'm hoping you can help me make that happen for her.
