A pregnant Yorkshire mum whose baby son is in intensive care at Leeds Children's Hospital has appealed for £1,500 as she faces a financial struggle while she cares for her son.
Anamaria Ruta, 24, and her partner set up a GoFundMe appeal after medics said Ayan, who is 20 months old, would not be leaving hospital any time soon and might be there for months and even years to come. Ayan who was born in July 2021 has complex congenital heart disease and any progress is agonisingly slow.
The family are being supported by the Children’s Heart Surgery Fund and are living in the accomodation provided by the organisation. However, with Ayan facing a long battle ahead, the family are also fundraising for help once Ayan is out of hospital.
