Wynton’s family support fund

Canterbury

Wynton remains fighting for his life in an induced coma after being brutally assaulted outside a Christchurch bar in the early hours of October 23, 2022.

Wynton’s next of kin and whānau are spread far and wide from Ōtautahi ICU. These funds will be used to support us, to support Wynton. Assisting with our travel, accomodation and food while we embark the unknown with him.

Though he doesn’t know it yet, Winnie’s life has been altered beyond repair and we want to make sure we, his immediate family, can be there every step of the way to support him on this journey.

The funds will be transferred to our mum Heather’s account where she can distribute as needed.

We his family, are extremely grateful for the outpouring of love his many friends are sending our way. We are learning just how truly loved our Winnie is.
