Loving family in need of a little help to cover living costs

TIM.

Tim has always been an active family man. He lives with his wife Toni and four young sons.

At the young age of 41, Tim was diagnosed with Parkinsons Disease in 2021.

Parkinsons Disease is a disorder of the central nervous system causing abnormal brain activity that affects the persons control over their muscle movement. There is no cure.

Throughout the last two years Parkinsons Disease has been taking its toll on Tim. It has begun to affect some of the simple pleasures in life such as being active with his boys. It has also impacted Tim’s ability to work and provide for his family.

Recently Tim presented to hospital with signs of a serious infection. He was sent home with the Doctors sighting his Parkinsons as the cause. Tim soon became septic in his kidneys.

When Tim went back to the hospital, weakness from the infection caused Tim to fall, heavily hitting his head ending in a severe concussion.

Tim had urgent surgery to his kidney to address the infection, however the sepsis had begun to shut down his kidneys, liver, heart and brain. He had a stay in ICU.

Tim is very lucky to be alive. Unfortunately, Tim has been flown to Dunedin this weekend for more emergency surgery and treatment for sepsis.

Tim faces a very long recovery time. He is unable to work, and his wife Toni has taken time off work to care for him.

If you are able to, please offer a small donation to help their financial burden. and to help with the expenses of travel, accommodation and help caring for their boys.
