Georgia’s Heart

Help us mend Georgia's broken heart
We are raising funds for our Grand-daughter, Georgia Beverley Young, who was born on the 11th March 2021, 53cm long and weighing 3.36kg.
After delivery in King Hamad Hospital in Bahrain, she was quickly taken to the NICU unit in the same hospital where she remains, through several tests it has become clear that she was born with three heart conditions that will require surgery to allow her to live.
The most serious of these conditions is a Type B interrupted aortic arch, this condition is rare and will require open heart surgery to insert a synthetic connection from the ascending to descending parts of the aorta. This surgery needs to take place in the next few weeks.
The surgery will take place in India, where the consultants and surgeons are skilled and experienced in this operation.
Along with the defected aorta is Ventricle Septal Defect (VSD) which shows a hole approximately 0.7cm and Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) which shows a hole 0.2cm. To repair these holes will again require surgery to repair.
Georgia is also diagnosed with Down Syndrome, which leaves a large uncertainty to what Rory and Charmaine will be facing in the future.
The below is an estimation of expenses to be incurred over the next 6-12 months, the money raised through this campaign will go a long way to helping with these, these costs are broken down into several phases (all prices are in euros):
Phase 1: Total Cost (including contingency for exchange rate and taxes) - €165802.50
- Documentation for travel, clearances and visas - €1155
- Medical reports and appointment fees - €3513
- Medical care in Bahrain (NICU King Hamad Hospital) - €8400
- Medical evacuation from Bahrain to Chennai, Madras Medical Mission - €75600
- Medical checks and preparation for surgery - €2310
- Aortic Arch Surgery - €31500
- Medical care in India, 28 days expected stay (ICU & Ward, Madras Medical Mission) - €6300
- Medication - €2814
Phase 2: Total Cost (including contingency for exchange rate and taxes) - €75952.50
- Stay in Chennai awaiting Full Validity Passport (living costs) - €6825
- Medical reports and appointment fees - €2682
- Return flights Chennai to Bahrain - €1878
- Check ups and preparation for Ventricle Septal Defect Surgery - €7844
- Ventricle Septal Defect Surgery - €30508
- Hospital care after surgery - €5250
- Medication - €5775
Phase 3: Estimated cost - €12000
- Check ups
- Medication
- Reporting fees
Throughout these three phases there are also:
- Loss of income (both Rory and Charmaine are self employed)
- Internal travel costs (fuel, parking fees, taxi's)
- Unknown (Cost of living, hospital tests, additional support and taxes)
Money raised will be transferred to my son Rory Young who will use all the money raised to help with the above expenses that that he is facing, we are grateful for your support of Georgia, she has had a rough start to life but is fighting to get home to her Mum and Dad.
