KATHLEEN'S STORY
When Kathleen and her mother Claire were separated just moments after her birth, every second counted. An emergency C-section saved Kathleen’s life, but with suspected brain damage, she needed urgent hypothermia treatment. Kathleen was transferred 147 miles away by land ambulance to be treated but Claire was only well enough to join her baby girl two days later.
After five days, doctors were happy for Kathleen to return to Doncaster and thanks to supporters like you, the Children’s Air Ambulance was there to help. With the support of a specialist neonatal team from Embrace, Kathleen and Claire flew home together in just 49 minutes, compared to a journey via road which would have taken just under three hours.
Four days after they returned home, Kathleen was discharged, and doctors confirmed she hadn’t suffered any long-term damage from her traumatic birth. It was the greatest gift for all the family when they were reunited two days before Christmas. Kathleen met her three siblings, and they were able to spend quality time together as a family.
Being separated from your baby is an indescribable agony. I was anxious and terrified of being separated again and it was very important to me that we were together for the journey home.
Please give the greatest gift this Christmas to a family like Kathleen’s and donate to the Children’s Air Ambulance today.
Each mission costs £3,600 and is funded directly by generous supporters like you as we receive no government support. Your gift this Christmas could keep the Children’s Air Ambulance flying for families like Kathleen’s, offering a future filled with hope.
