A Christmas Appeal making sure families get support at the most challenging of times
Last year little Amber McRae wasn’t able to spend Christmas with her family. Instead, she spent six weeks in hospital after undergoing gruelling and risky skull expansion surgery. Amber has spina bifida and hydrocephalus and the surgery was the last chance to try and bring down the pressure in her head caused by hydrocephalus and save her life.
SBH Scotland helped to support the family as they navigated this incredibly difficult time. Now Leanne and Amber are teaming up with the charity to launch a Christmas Appeal to raise funds to support other families going through the same thing this year.
