Help My Mate Live Pain-Free After 15 Years of Struggle

In 2008, my mate suffered a serious spinal injury after being blindsided by a bull while working as a stock truck driver. Since then, he’s undergone two major back surgeries in NZ, but continues to live in daily, debilitating pain.

Despite this, he’s pushed through for over 15 years working, raising his family, and never asking for help. But after re-injuring his back in 2024 carrying his daughter, things have become unmanageable. His only NZ surgical option would leave him with lifelong limitations and unable to work or care for his kids properly.

A leading spinal surgeon in Sydney has offered real hope: a specialised surgery to realign his spine and reduce his pain by 70% and get him back on his feet in just weeks. But it comes at a cost of $95,000 AUD.

He’s already sold his tractor to raise what he can, but it’s not enough and losing that machine affects his business. With his young daughter also facing ongoing medical issues, the family simply can’t do this alone.

Blair would never ask for any help hence why I am making this. This surgery will change his life giving him freedom from pain and the ability to return to work and fatherhood. Please help if you can. Every donation counts.
