I am very proud to be apart of organizing an auction for the special McKenzie family-Chloe McKenzie Auction on Facebook (date to be confirmed). Myself and Karen Johnson we're so touched buy the tragic story and it hit quite close to home with us both having babies only a month older then little Chloe.
After reading their story I was so heart broken and couldn't stop hugging my beautiful healthy babies. We truly are blessed to have healthy babies I and couldn't imagine how hard life must be for the McKenzies not knowing if each day was to be their daughters last.
Late last year Chloe was diagnosed Leukodystrophy (white matter on the brain), she has been sent home with hospital equipment and requires a lot of medical support as Leukodystrophy is almost incurable. Chloe requires help from Physicians, Nurses, Physios, OT's, nutritionists, educators and many more.
When Chloe was born her parents Chris & Sharni and big brother Lachlan did not know she was born with this little know disease and every day that goes by is as important to this family as the last. We have been lucky enough to be in contact with some truly wonderful and talented local businesses and it's their generosity that has allowed us to run this auction and raise some much needed funds towards Chloe's treatment.
Please take your time to go through our auction pieces including handmade baby clothes, headbands, vouchers!! We would like to thank the businesses who contributed to this cause as we couldn't of done it without you.
Here's to a great auction for a great cause.
There is also a Family Fun Day that has been set up more details of the day can be found on the FB page "Chloe McKenzie" Family Fun Day
*If you are a business wanting to contribute please fell free to contact me. I will be offering a free small advertisement on the Young Mum's Of Brisbane Blog to say thanks.
