We help children & adults born with TOF/OA to ease living with this rare condition
Story
To all the special people in our lives,
Our beautiful baby girl - Daisy Blossom Buckley was born on 23rd November 2008 with TOF/OA. As most of you know she has spent many weeks in hospital & suffered an oesophageal perforation, collapsed lungs, needed blood transfusions & undergone 8 operations- some big some small in such a short time.
We are planning a Christening celebration for Daisy on 26th Aprill 2009 (invites to follow) where we will be asking all our friends & families to donate generously to the TOFS charity. For those of you who are my internet friends (lovely baby centre ladies & Fab Facebook friends) thoose that live too far away to attend the Christening, your donations would also be kindly appreciated too.
It's thanks to YOUR donations that TOFS charity can run- it has helped DAISY (Our Princess Sparkles) by producing a book all about her condition which has allowed us to come to terms with it & learn about what we can expect from her future. It has also put us in touch with other families who can support & guide us through the tough times ahead.
If you can find it in your hearts to donate- you really will be making a BIG DIFFERENCE to people like us who, without the TOFS charity wouldn't know anything about Daisy's condition & about the dreams and possibilities other TOF children have achieved.
After the Christening we will be totalling the amount and sending it all to TOFS including anything from this page. TOFS produce a quarterly magazine which will mention your kind donations, also we will be putting something together for the Rochdale Observer
Thank you so much,
Love
Jody & Dan
Elliot, Sebastian, Fletcher & Daisy Blossom Buckley- born with TOF/OA

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: TOFS gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
TOFS offers support to people born with Tracheo-Oesophageal Fistula (TOF) and/or Oesophageal Atresia (OA). These are rare congenital malformaltions of the gullet and windpipe. Immediate neonatal surgery is a treatment, not a complete cure. We are UK-based and receive no public-sector support at all.
