Tamzyn Needs a Bedroom

$8,022 of $60,000 goal
Given by 85 generous donors in around 8 months

Tamzyn, a beautiful 7 year-old who suffers from Cerebral Palsy symptoms, severe Epilepsy and Cortical Visual Impairment, needs a bedroom.

Waikato

In little Matamata there is a little two bedroom house where Tamzyn lives along with her two siblings and her mum (Raegan Edwards) and dad. With all three children in one room and mum and dad in the other, this little house has grown too small to accommodate Tamzyn's increasing need for medical care and equipment.

Recently, Tamzyn's parents have been looking into plans to build a room specially, so that Tamzyn can finally have her own space, to live in an environment suited to her condition. Tamzyn's mum and dad have approached their bank for a loan but were unsuccessful so, this room is just a dream at the moment, a dream that we are hoping will come true with your generosity. Please donate to help Tamzyn and her family extend their two bedroom house so that life can be made that little bit easier as they endure the realities of her condition.

As Tamzyn's nan, I have such heartfelt passion for the difficulties my son and daughter-in-law face in raising Tamzyn. They are trying their hardest for their beautiful daughter and it pains me that I am powerless in this situation. Other than entreating New Zealand for help, I cannot financially aid them in any other way. My greatest wish is to allow them to give their daughter her best chance, her greatest quality of life.

I am involved because, in this financial climate, things are tough. So ,to be able to help my granddaughter Tamzyn in this way is amazing because her cause is one of the most worth-while causes I know of.

It's Been A Month ...  20 May 2015

and times have been tough. Tamzyn's seizures have increased, and we have moved our bed into Tamzyn's room to keep a closer eye on her, with Bronson and Tahlia now moved into the smaller bedroom.

There are some special mentions that we would like to update you with. A big thank you to everyone who has kindly donated so far, also to Cullen Keiser Architecture (Danielle Vincent and Daniel Cullen), close friends of our family, have offered to design the plan, Chris and Karyn Walters have offered to do the electrical work and Kara-Maree Edwards and Ben Benson have offered to do the paint work. We feel so luck to be part of such a caring and kind community. Thank you to everyone - we are forever grateful to all of you xxx
