Please help Ed rebuild his life & spirit after a horrific accident that has sadly led to one of his legs being amputated.
Auckland
At just 23yrs old, Ed's life has taken an unexpected turn. A horrific accident on May 12 (Mothers Day) left him in a critical condition, requiring urgent airlifting from his home in Taranaki to Auckland. The aftermath is heartbreaking; Ed had to undergo the amputation of one of his legs.
Known for his unparalleled kindness and generosity, Ed was on his way home from his job as a caregiver when tragedy struck. He became an innocent victim of someone else's negligence at a T junction.
Remarkably, even in the face of such adversity, Ed's thoughts were not solely about himself. On awakening from his coma, his first concerns were not about his own well-being, but about his ability to continue his passion for caregiving and fostering cats. That's the kind of person Ed is—selfless, compassionate, and unwaveringly hopeful.
Now, Ed faces a long and challenging journey ahead as he learns to navigate life with a disability. But he's not alone. This givealittle page is a beacon of hope, a collective effort to support Ed as he rebuilds his life. Your contributions will not only provide financial assistance but also offer Ed the comfort of knowing that he has a community rallying behind him.
Every donation, no matter how big or small, will make a meaningful difference in Ed's recovery and will assist him in regaining independence.
Thank you for your generosity and for joining us in supporting Ed as he embarks on this journey towards healing and hope.
I'm Ed's cousin, I'm setting up this page to help support Ed's immediate family who are currently focused on his immediate care and recovery, and funds will go directly to Ed
Ed’s recovery and rehabilitation - which may include technology of new prosthetics, training of new skills needed to navigate his new reality, and any other medical costs not covered by the public health system or ACC (once known).
Funds to go to Ed's parents Gareth and Joelene Dormon
