Brenden (pictured above in the recovery ward with his mother Vanessa) will be in Auckland a little longer to ensure his recovery is complete before he returns home to Vanuatu. Brenden arrived in New Zealand last month.
ROMAC New Zealand appreciates of the support of the cardiac surgeons and nurses at Starship Children's Hospital and the care and support of Ronald McDonald House, Auckland.
Mothers of patients from two different countries met recently as one headed home through Brisbane Airport following treatment.
After five weeks in Sydney, we recently said goodbye to Vanessa and her dad Ino as they began their journey home to Timor-Leste.
Brenden, aged 12, has been welcomed to Auckland for cardiac surgery needed as a result of rheumatic fever.
Any donation you can make will help make treatment like this possible.
