Raising money to cover Graysons expenses and help with care for his young daughter while he recovers from a serious brain injury.

Manawatu / Whanganui

Our brother Grayson has recently had a very bad accident while heading out to spend time with his friends. He fell off his skateboard which has resulted in a very serious head and brain injury. His recovery and rehabilitation are expected to last for the next 7 months or longer.

We have set up this page as a way to raise money to cover all of his expenses, to help with the care of his young daughter and also to cover travel expenses for our dad who has to commute from Marton to Wellington (2 hours) and back twice a week to be with him.

Any help will be greatly appreciated during this trying time.

Update on Grayson  30 October 2020

Hello everybody. I had left a link to a facebook page detailing grayson's progress over this last year but I am putting this update here for anybody who didn't use the link.

It has been a long year of surgeries and rehab that have all been aimed at helping grayson get better. Along the way he has run into a few roadblocks which include two very large and serious seizures but he has been strong enough to come out the other side of those.

Despite his strength, his will and his ability to overcome these roadblocks it saddens me and my family to tell you all that grayson's condition has deteriorated over time to the point where we have had to stop his treatment. We are now all spending time with him and making him as comfortable as possible during his last days.

We do not know how long he has left but we do know that his time is short but still very precious.

I will be closing down this page in a few days so that everyone can see this.

From myself and all of our family, we cannot thank you enough for the donations and support you have given to us and we will never forget it.

Richard Cross
