His life has changed forever but hopefully we can help make it the best possible one for him.

Waikato

On Sunday 8th July a fatal shooting took place in a house in Hamilton. One of the victims is a 17 year old boy. He sustained horrific injuries, that were quite frankly, a miracle to have survived.

The aim of this Givealittle, initially, is to help relieve some of the financial burden for his Mother. She has been at his bedside continually since this tragedy and there is many more weeks to go as he undergoes more operations and recovery. He is in Auckland hospital and as this is not the city she resides in, she has the added expense of being away from home.

Going forward, it would then be awesome if we could help towards ongoing rehabilitation to help him towards the best quality of life & adjust to the permanent injuries....what the heck, maybe even another miracle or two while we're at it.

If you know the victim or his family, please do not write their names in any comments you leave. Due to the nature of the crime committed against him & his age, he is subject to a name suppression order & using his name on here would be in breach of that. Thank you.

The victim's Mother has been a friend of mine for nearly 20 years. This page is to raise much needed funds to relieve the financial burden while she cares for her son & to enable them to explore every rehabilitation programme that may assist him in his recovery.

Use of funds

Initially to relieve financial stress for his Mother so she can continue to be by his beside giving him the strength & love he needs.

Going forward, injury rehabilitation & living adjustments due to permanent injuries.
