Following Chris's motorbike accident, we are looking for financial support to help this family through this difficult time.

Southland

Kia ora family and friends of Chris, Hannah, Arlo and their baby girl due in February. On Saturday 7 September Chris had a serious motorbike accident on Oreti Beach resulting in a significant injury to his right leg. He was flown to Kew Hospital in the Rescue Helicopter and underwent surgery on Friday 13 September, after waiting for his swelling to go down. Chris was supposed to be starting a new job on Monday 8 September however, as I'm sure you can understand, this has been put on hold. He will be off work for at least six months and although they will be receiving ACC which will be based on 80% of his previous wage, they would greatly appreciate your help in getting through this difficult time, until Chris is back on his feet.

Hannah is my Niece, Chris is her Partner and Arlo is their Son, my Great Nephew.

Use of funds

Any koha raised will go towards keeping them warm, fed, comfortable and lightening their load over the following months.

Home Time 25 September 2019

Chris's surgery was a success and his swelling and bruising has reduced drastically over the past couple of weeks. He is now loving being back at home with Hannah and Arlo although he is unable to bear any weight on his leg for at least the next 12 weeks but is recovering well.
