Help Danny after motorbike accident

For those of you that know Danny you will know he would take the jacket off his back for anyone. He is a caring, loving, funny ( in a Dad joke way ), humble, determined and reliable man that looks out for people and helps anyone he can. He is a loving Husband to Kathryn and an amazing and committed Dad to two beautiful kids.

On the morning of Saturday the 15th of August Danny was on his way to work at Fresh Barbershop when a car hit his motorbike and sent him onto the road.

He was rushed to Wellington Hospital where they found he has an exposed fracture on his lower leg, a brain bleed, double vision, multiple cuts and scrapes, gravel rash and extensive damage to his right hand ( his cutting hand. )

He has already had one surgery at Wellington hospital to insert a rod into the bone fracture in his leg and has been transferred to another hospital where he will undergo plastic surgery to close the wound by taking half his abdominal muscles and a skin graft from his thigh.

The surgeons have informed Danny and Kathryn that the recovery time Danny is looking at is 3-6 months.

Throughout everything that’s happened the last few days Danny and his wife Kathryn have remained so positive.

Danny is such a hard worker, working 6 full days a week at the barbershop to keep it running and support his family.

Despite the craziness of 2020 he recently purchased a bigger space to move the barbershop into so 3-6 months of not being able to work is very daunting. Having to cover rent and expenses of the current shop, mortgage on the new shop and house, and day to day living expenses is a big burden on top of a long road to recovery so if you’re in a position to help out to take a part of the burden off Danny and his young family please do, every cent helps!

BUT if you have read this far and thought “ hmm, not for me “ PLEASE don’t close the tab! There are HUNDREDS if not thousands of people here, in NZ, who need help! Please go and search for another cause that you feel comfortable supporting! Even without a monetary contribution a share makes all the difference. Random acts of kindness can change the world and if Danny could ask anything it would be for that.
