Story
I tragically lost a very special and beautiful person this year, my best friend, Rachel Molloy, Isabelle's mummy. Rachel was only 36 years old.
The circumstances of her passing were truly unexpected. Rachel, just days away from her due date collapsed and died from a splenic artery aneurysm. A rare complication of pregnancy which is fatal to mother and baby. Isabelle and her mummy never met.
Isabelle has been through so much in the short time she has been with us and needs your love and support now.
After Rach collapsed and her heart stopped Isabelle was born 30 minutes later, she wasn't breathing and had to be resuscitated. Isabelle then suffered a number of seizures, a direct cause of a brain injury caused by a lack of oxygen before her birth. The doctors put her on a ventilator and into a cooling chamber to reduce the risk of further brain damage. Isabelle spent 84 days in intensive care before she was able to go home and be with her daddy and brother.
Isabelle is a fighter and her daddy, Nick calls her his little miracle, Isabelle was predicted not to make it through the first night. To date, she continues to fight on a daily basis following on from the terrible circumstances surrounding her birth.
Isabelle's consultant is concerned there are a number of issues which suggest she will have physical and cognitive complications. Isabelle is also likely to suffer from seizures for the rest of her life.
Isabelle has a very long and uncertain journey ahead of her, she is surrounded by love which goes a long way. Isabelle will need lots of high level care and equipment to aid her recovery and development. This is what the money will go towards. If you can donate anything to help Isabelle on her journey, thank you x

4 years agoHi everyone, In Dec 19, Isabelle went back into hospital. Due to Isabelle needing treatment across numerous settings the money has not yet been withdrawn. This year Isabelle moved into a home for children with complex needs and will live there on a permanent basis. I have spoken to the manager of the home and she has no provisions to hold the money for her. It has been decided Isabelle's grandma (Rachel's mum) will hold the money for Isabelle and along with family members will liaise with the home to buy items to support her as she grows x
