Support for Finn's family while he is fighting to overcome Meningococcal disease

Wanaka, Otago

The Thomson family are currently in Christchurch supporting their eldest son Finn while he's in ICU with a very serious case of meningococcal disease. Finn is in a critical condition and will have a very long road to recovery. This fund-raising page has been set up by the families long time Wanaka & Hawea friends to provide them financial assistance while they are away from home and unable to work.

We are blessed and relieved that our eldest son Finn has made the most amazing progress with fighting the meningococcal disease.

He is miraculously awake, communicating, breathing on his own and trying to get up out of his bed.

We are forever grateful and feeling positive and hopeful for his recovery and rehabilitation.

We truly do have the best whanau, friends, neighbours, community and hospital!!!
