Sarah and Brad's recovery

$3,755 donated
Given by 48 generous donors in around 9 months

Help Sarah and Brad's recovery from their serious car accident and return to their loving, generous, adventurous lives.

Dunedin, Otago

Two beautiful humans consider themselves "very lucky people" even though they were hit in a head-on collision on Friday 7th March, when off to a lunch treat that they never got to enjoy.

Sarah says "I cannot begin to describe the feeling of a car appearing right in front of you with nowhere to go and no time to escape. I felt like I was in one of those ads that highlight the effects of serious crashes. The moment where the world stood still and was deafeningly quiet. Thank goodness it was only a 70km road... "
