Help us support Dario and his family during a critical medical emergency and bring his loved ones to New Zealand to be by his side.

Manawatu / Whanganui

Dario is a valued member of the Franklin Smith team who recently suffered a serious medical emergency and collapsed while at work. Thanks to the quick actions of his workmates, Dario received immediate help at the scene. He is now in hospital in a critical condition, facing an incredibly difficult and uncertain time.

Dario’s family are currently in the Phillipines, and right now, we want to do everything we can to make sure he has the people he loves around him.

Franklin Smith is arranging and covering the cost of bringing Dario’s wife to New Zealand so she can be by his side. We have set up this Givealittle page to help support Dario and his family during this difficult time, and to help other family members travel to New Zealand to be with him.

Funds raised will help with flights, accommodation, living expenses and other costs for Dario’s family while they are here, taking some of the financial pressure away so they can focus on what matters most - being together and supporting Dario.

Any contribution, no matter the amount, will make a difference to Dario and his family. If you’re unable to donate, simply sharing this page would also mean a lot.

Thank you for getting behind Dario and his family during a time when they need our support the most.

Use of funds

All funds raised will go directly to Dario’s wife, Felilia Gutierrez, to help ease financial pressure and help her cover the costs on flights for any family members to come to NZ and living expenses during this difficult time.
