*UPDATE FOUR* Josh is out of ICU...! 👏

Josh is currently in an induced coma in critical condition in hospital after a major car accident. He has sustained major crush injuries with bones and organs affected and will need multiple surgeries and ongoing specialist medical care to get through this. Josh and his family will need to relocate to Christchurch for the surgeries needed and the months of rehabilitation ahead.

Those who know Josh know he is such an adventurous and fun-loving guy, who loves hunting and the outdoors. He is a promising competitive motocross rider and junior South Island champion. We do not know if he will be able to ride again.

Josh also works hard in the family business, helping on the farm, orchard and beekeeping, alongside his school work and part-time jobs. Because of the critical nature of his injuries, his parents will need to leave their orchard at harvest time, putting huge financial stress on their entire family. It is not known when they will be able to return.

This Christmas will be spent in hospital by Josh's beside, with an uncertain future. Please help Josh and his family to get through this. Please give generously. We appreciate this is an expensive time of year, but Josh needs your help. Every dollar counts.
