Help and support for Daniel and Deanna as they navigate life after horrific road accident

Oamaru, Otago

❤️ Help Support Daniel and Deanna❤️

On Saturday, 22 August, Daniel Pauley was seriously injured in a road accident on the Lindis Pass.

He has suffered multiple injuries, including open leg fractures, and developed pneumonia while recovering in intensive care. Daniel faces extensive rehabilitation and will be unable to work for several months.

His wife, Deanna, is by his side in Dunedin, away from their young son and home. While ACC will help, the family will still face significant travel, accommodation, medical, rehabilitation, household, and lost-income costs.

We’re asking our community to help ease this financial pressure so Daniel and Deanna can focus on his recovery and their family.

Any donation or share would mean so much. Thank you for your support, kindness, and messages. ❤️
