We need help bringing my critically ill brother home to NZ, cover hospital bills from overseas and bring his wife and children to NZ.

Auckland

UPDATE: Matty is now home and completed his stay in MIQ at north shore hospital. He has a long recovery ahead, and hospital bills to settle in Poland. He also wants to bring his wife and children over once he is better, so any funds left will go towards this.

June 2021: My brother Matty has severe bowel disease. He is critically ill and stuck in Poland, with no medical insurance or a way home. He is too sick to fly without a medical team. We are now working with Air Ambulance Australasia to get him home. Raising money for life saving hospital care and a medical team to oversee the trip.

All donations will go into a trust, and used for Matty’s medical care and expenses to get home safe. Thank you for helping my brother x

Looking more like Matty 27 October 2021

Hi team. Just wanted to send through this pic of Matty because he is looking so much more like himself and it just makes me so happy. Over 10kgs up since he got to a scary 39kgs earlier this year. Docs have a firm plan now and things are looking up!
