To help and support Tony and his children in this time of need

Nelson / Tasman

Tony is lying in ICU in an induced coma with his children and extended family by his side after suffering a traumatic brain injury. On Wednesday 19th February he was flown from Nelson to Wellington hospital for emergency surgery and is facing a long rehabilitation road and a lot of unknowns.

Tony and his 3 children have already faced tragedy once, loosing their adored wife and mum to breast cancer in 2013. Tony has been hands on, lovingly raising his daughter and two sons who were 7, 5 & 3 when they lost their mum.

They now need to be close to their Dad while he recovers from this next tragedy.

Being able to relieve some of the financial stress of being in another city far from home and facing a very long road to an uncertain future is one thing we can do for Tony and his children.
