Help Erik thrive, smile and able to enjoy life again

Auckland

I guess this is not your usual page. My name is Julie and I am writing to seek support for my loving partner Erik. More photos in the gallery.

Erik (originally from Sweden) is a loving, caring, outgoing guy who could make anyone laugh or smile and would be the guy who would be there for anyone.

Sadly he was in a road accident Nov last year - he was driving to work on his motorbike when a car came out of nowhere, the driver froze and Erik had no choice but to let go of his bike and brace for impact on the car.

He suffered severe internal bleeding, trauma to his bowls, intestine and spine and was hospitalized for 4 weeks to recovery from surgery. To date he is still in recovery, his life has been irreversibly changed due the accident. In all honesty this accident has been a huge toll his life, he is suffering physically, mentally and financially.

The strain of the financials due to not been able to work is having a huge impact on his mental well-being. I wish there was more I could do to help hence I am reaching out for support. Please feel free to contact me if you would like more info about Erik, his recovery.

We are thankful he is alive.. as it could have been a different outcome.

I am his partner and I am reaching out for extra support for Erik. Please share the love.

Use of funds

The funds will be used to help him with his financial out-goings and help clear the debt that has amounted since the accident. Any excess funds I would like to donate to a charity.

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.

I stayed with Eric and his friend at the legendary Chill House in Koh Panghan back in 2009. The hospitality and fun these boys showed me will always stay as a fond memory in my life. Gutted to hear what has happened to this legend. Stay strong brother ✌🏽
