Help raise a deposit for a house
Nationwide
On the 17th of June 2014 Paul was struck by a train while working for Downers, contracted to Kiwi Rail on the Raurimu Spiral.
Against all the odds Paul survived and has been in hospital ever since.
He cannot talk or eat and has very limited movement.
Paul has a partner of 16 years and two daughters 13 and 7 years. They have been very brave and this event has changed their lives forever and they look forward to Paul eventually coming home.
The problem is they do not own a house and the house they rent is not suitable for modification.
The obvious thing to do is buy a house suitable for modification and nearer to special needs providers.
Any donation would be greatly appreciated and hopefully they would add up to assist with a deposit on a house suitable for modifications by ACC to suit Paul’s needs.

You Tube documentary 18 July 2015
A documentary maker friend of Paul's partner Vashti, Valetta Brenzon has made a documentary outlining the detail around the accident and subsequent outcome.
If you could please share this You Tube video link to all your contacts we would be most grateful.
Vashti & the girls were able to participate in an outing for Paul yesterday by the staff at ABi unit to a local park in Porirua and we hope that Paul was able to appreciate the outing as getting out of the hospital environment briefly.
