Help for Jim's Journey
Help Jim to recover from his 3rd degree burns and stroke.
Middlemore Hospital, Auckland
On Thursday the 11th of January 2024 Jim Burford was seriously injured in an explosion in his garage whilst working on a vehicle.
Jim was helicoptered straight to Christchurch Hospital and then transferred onto Middlemore Hospital ICU in Auckland. This accident left him with 3rd degree burns to over 40% of his body.
On Tuesday the 16th of January he suffered further complications from a large stroke. This stroke has effected his ability to communicate through speech and he is currently unable to eat and drink. His mobility is also extremely limited.
Jim has already had a number of surgeries and these will be ongoing into the foreseeable future. He remains in a critically ill condition.
Due to the seriousness of his condition he is now expected to be at Middlemore Hospital National Burns Centre for many months. This creates a serious challenge for him and his family with being so far from home.
We know he is loved by lots and any contribution will be greatly appreciated.
