Helping Baby Hans

Update posted by Candice Lee Campos

Gerrit & Toni Van Der Westhuizen are expecting the arrival of their first child Hans. Baby Hans will need surgery right away after birth because he has a condition called Gastroschisis. He may need to stay in the ICU for atleast 1-3 months, depending on his condition. Gastroschisis is a birth defect of the abdominal (belly) wall. The baby's intestines are found outside of the baby's body, exiting through a hole beside the belly button. The birth and operation will take place at Inkosi Albert Luthuli Central Hospital in Durban on the 29th May 2020.

Please help support Gerrit & Toni van der Westhuizen as the financial costs and stress they are currently under is overwhelming. Any donation would be greatly appreciated. I will continue to post updates and photos on this platform & on the Facebook page.
