Help the Hewitt-Howdens fund emergency passports, travel accommodation to get to Natalia's side

Southland, Invercargill City

My son's aunty Natalia, was unfortunately Struck by a vehicle while walking in Queensland early hours of this morning, leaving her in critical condition. She only recently moved from New Zealand and despite the amazing support of her partner and best friend, her immediate family is in NZ. unfortunately both parents are currently trying to get emergency passports as they don't have one. This also means they can't book flights. Leaving them not knowing when they can get to the daughters side. You can appreciate how incredibly stressful and unexpected This is for the whole whanua mentally and financially. We would really appreciate any donations made towards getting Natalia's parents thier passports and getting them to her at this very distressful time. we need all that love and healing energy to reach our girl, she has a hard noggin, and it's what's saved her!

We love you so much natalia x

Thankyou   8 March 2024

We couldnt be anymore greatful for everyones love, donations and prayers! Natalia has been discharged and is now at home resting and recovering. The injurys she sustained are going to take some time, therapy and possibly surgery to heal. Both parents made it over to be with her and we couldnt thank you all enough for helping make that happen. Her mum is still with her for aslong as Natalia needs the help 🥰 we are so proud of nat for being so strong and recovering so fast. Some of the donations were used to cover her parents emergency passports and travel fees, the rest is going towards helping natalia cover her home bills and any medical bills, plus the cost of getting her teeth fixed which was natalias main concern. Thankfully all your love has taken so much stress off her back and once again we are beyond thankful
