I would like to take this moment to thank each and everyone of you who was touched by not only this man's life, but touched by his story. We came together in unity to give a little and achieved something beautiful. Because of your love, we got Jarred home and from the core of my heart, thank you. Thank you for the gift of time that you have given to Jarred and his family and friends. 🙏 bless you all.

Very, very sad to hear about the passing of such a young and obviously much loved man, who looked to have so much to live for. Deep sympathy to all family members and to close friends. A mention also to Thomas. Good on you for your outstanding friendship to Jarred and for instigating the process by which he could get home at such a critical time. Thoughts and prayers to all at this time. Louise

It's so good to see all of your updates, Thomas! Thank you so much.
I thank God for the miraculous way in which He has provided for you and Jarred, for the medical staff both here and in Fiji, for the incredible amount of funds that have been raised through the efforts of this organization, Stuff, Hawkes Bay Today and the generous donations of your and Jarred's many friends and relatives (and their friends and relatives!) AND the many who donated that did not even know you and Jarred, but were touched by Jarred's story.
I also thank God for Milika and her family...for providing you with such amazing support including a place to stay, meals and transportation to and from the hospital, airport and their "connections" with the medical staff at the Lautoka Hospital. You and Jarred are truly blessed.
I have thought of many Scriptures throughout this ordeal, but trust this one will be an encouragement to you as you venture home tomorrow:
Final Exhortations
4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Phil: 4:4-7
I am on my knees and can't wait to hear that you are all safely home.
Godspeed.

Hi Thomas. Great to hear the update. Hope all goes well with the flight today and that Jarred will be on the improve asap. Good on you for being such a good friend to Jarred and thoughts and prayers to all, including to Jarred's family at this challenging and tenuous time. Best Wishes. Louise

Jarred himself is doing his best. He is one tough dude! The strongest I've ever met. More updates to come but for now I want to thank you all for your ongoing support. it means the world to us over here in Fiji to know we have such a strong support group in Humanity. Thank you all.
