Calv needs financial support to allow him the time, rest & ongoing care to recover from his recent serious medical event.

Canterbury

Recently Calv experienced a serious medical event that will require time, rest and ongoing care as he works towards recovery. Unable to work during this period, he and his family are facing unexpected financial strain.

Kath is at home full-time caring not only for Calv, but also their neurodivergent son, making it difficult for her to take on additional work during this challenging season. The family could use some extra support to help cover essential living expenses and relieve some of the stress so they can focus on healing and stability.

Calv's work is entering an extremely demanding time of year, with such a challenging environment and a rigorous workload both physically and mentally ahead. The last thing he needs is to have to return to work before fully recovering in order to financially support his family, therefore any support will help ease the burden and improve Calv's recovery timeframe so that he can instead concentrate on getting back to being 100%.

If you're able to contribute, no matter how small, your kindness will make a meaningful difference. Thank you for helping support this wonderful family as they navigate a difficult time.
