Help Damian's Family Through Redundancy & Health Struggles

$510 of $8,000 goal
Given by 5 generous donors in around 3 months

I’m seeking help for my family as we face financial hardship after my job loss and my wife's chronic illness while caring for her parents.

Auckland

Hi, I'm Damian, a kiwio who for the past 5 years, I worked as a Hotel GM in Hong Kong until I was made redundant earlier this year due to my company’s restructuring. Since then, I’ve been actively searching for work in Australia, New Zealand, and Hong Kong, but without success. To stretch our savings, we relocated temporarily to the Philippines, but our financial situation is now critical.

In addition to caring for our own family of 5, we are also caring for my wife’s elderly parents. My wife is unable to work due to chronic illness, including acute hypertension and an unstable aneurysm. I am the sole provider, but our mounting medical and school expenses have become overwhelming. We also have no one in a financial position to ask for assistance.

I’m hoping to relocate our family back to Australia or New Zealand, where my wife can receive the proper medical care she needs. While I continue searching for work in hospitality, I plan to work in the ride-share industry to support my family.

Any support you can provide—whether financial or through prayers—will be deeply appreciated. Thank you!

Dear Damian. I’m sorry things are hard at the moment but good things happen for good people and I’m sure this will all be behind you very soon. Thank you for all you’ve done for my brother Adrian in HK over the years. If there’s anything else we can do to help, let us know.
