Easing the pressure for a young family when tragedy has struck.

As you all may know one of our staff member's had an accident on Sunday 4th February 2024. 14yr old Stacy was swimming with his friend's and family at a local spot in Haruru on the outskirts of Paihia. Stacy has proceeded to jump into the water, has hit his head which caused his C5 vertebrae to shatter, he was pulled from the water unconscious. Stacy was flown to Starship Hospital via rescue helicopter. Stacy has had 2 surgeries to date, one to replace the shattered vertebrae and the second to place rods in to help with keeping his spine still. At the moment we are unsure if Stacy will regain movement in his arms and legs as it is early days. Stacy is a vibrant, humble, compassionate, hardworking young man who we have all adopted here as our own. His mum Tash also works with us so as you can imagine life is pretty scary for her and her family at the moment. This journey is going to be long and slow, we as their work family are trying to do as much as we can to take the pressure off them, hence the reason for setting up this Go Fund me page. Along with us here, Tash and her family are loved by many. I know times are tough for everyone at the moment so any little bit helps. We have set this up in hopes that it can ease a little pressure on this family, so they don't have to worry about how they are going to pay bills etc. Sending healing vibes!!
