    A campaign has be launched to help raise funds for a an 18-month-old girl who needs lifesaving surgery.

    Sarah Summerly was born on the in June 2019 with OEIS complex, a rare combination of serious birth defects resulting in her liver, intestines and bladder developing outside her body.

    To complicate matters, she also has a severe form of Spina Bifida and clubbed feet. Sarah is lucky she survived, is unable to walk and requires intense care.

    A GoFundMe page has been established by a family friend in an effort to gather support and the finance required for Sarah’s operations.

    Campaign organiser Padraigh Sutton said: “Sarah is an amazing child that has overcome so much in a short time. She lives in Ennis, Co. Clare with her Mum and Dad, Michelle and Ger, and her brother Tony and sister Rosemary. Due to the level of one on one care that Sarah needs, Michelle, provides full time care.

    Having beaten the odds and survived, the aim for Sarah has now shifted to improving her quality of life and providing a higher level of physical and social independence.”

    In order to achieve these goals Sarah will undergo multiple reconstructive surgeries at different stages throughout her life. As the surgical repair is so challenging, it requires teams of doctors with specialised international expertise.

    Sarah will have two major surgeries this year in the United Kingdom.
