Hi there my name is hannah I am mum to 3 year old alan and I need some help and advice.
First I would like to tell you a bit about my son and why I am asking a question.
Alan was born in 2005 with a complexed heart defect which within 3 years he has had 9 operations, his last operation was in June 2008.
After this operation he cought an infection which made him really ill he was fighting for his life for 10 weeks, his little heart was working go hard to keep his body alive by sending blood to his lungs and brain that it stopped going to his hands.
Within 3 weeks his hands had turned black he looked like he had frost bite in October 08 while he was still in intencive care it was advised that surgeons took a look at his hands to see what could be done during this time surgeons had decided that alans fingers could not be saved so they had to be removed.
Alan finally left hospital in December 08 after 6 months he is now a happy semi healthy little boy who is very lucky to be here and his whole family especially me are really grateful to have him with us but now we need help.
We would like alan to have the best out of life so we are looking to get him some new hands this is why I am here now I need to know where and how I set up fundraiseing to get alan his hands.
If any one can help I would be really grateful this is not for personal gain I just want the best for my son so thank you to everyone who took the time out to read this plee.
Thank you hannh.
