Bonnie is from Essex and was born in August 2017. She arrived on her due date, but due to complications at birth Bonnie spent her first 4 weeks in hospital both locally and in London. At birth Bonnie suffered a lack of oxygen (HIE) and has now been diagnosed with severe brain damage, Dysphagia (lack of a swallow), Quad Dystonic Cerebral Palsy and Epilepsy. She wasn’t given a good chance of survival at the start but here we are over 7 years later with this amazing little girl, although she does still have recurring chest infections which means she ends up in hospital requiring extra support with oxygen and antibiotics on a regular basis.

Bonnie is now 7 years old and to ensure that she has the best opportunities for the future, the more experiences, and therapies we can give her during these early years of development, we hope, will help her as she continues to grow.

Given that Bonnie’s development remains uncertain, so too does our understanding of what additional equipment she may need as she grows. This all comes at a considerable cost which led us to starting this campaign.

As Bonnie’s parents we really want to ensure Bonnie has the best opportunities in life so we are seeking to raise money with Tree of Hope to assist with the costs of the additional therapies and equipment that she may need now and in the future.

7.5% of all donations to Tree of Hope in relation to this appeal will be allocated to the general charitable purposes of Tree of Hope to cover our core operating costs.

If we raise insufficient funds, or surplus funds, they will be used, if appropriate, to fund support for our child’s needs in accordance with Tree of Hope’s charitable objectives. If, in those circumstances, we are unable to use all or part of the funds for the benefit of our child, any funds that cannot be used will be transferred to be used for the general charitable purposes of Tree of Hope.
