Help for Austin and family.

Manawatu / Whanganui

Austin recently suffered a burst brain aneurysm which has left him paralysed on the right side of his body. After undergoing the first surgery doctors discovered he has a second aneurysm which is sitting in his brain waiting to burst. Austin is only 17 years old and this has taken huge blow to his mental and physical health. His mother has had to quit her job to be there for Austin in Wellington hospital and be able to help care for him. This has taken a huge financial toll on the family. There are 4 other siblings at home also and a loss of income at this time will make things difficult for the family. Any help would be much appreciated to support the family in this difficult time.

Update on Austin.  4 October 2021

Austin has undergone surgery last week to have the aneurysms removed. He has a long way to recovery but we are very lucky to still have him here with us. Thank you all so much. The family is so overwhelmed and humbled by your kind words and generosity at this time.
