Whatever is needed to help the family financially so they can focus on the wellbeing of Kevin and themselves through this hard time.

Manawatu / Whanganui

Most, if not all of you in our small community will know Kevin and Glenda Young and their 3 children Isaac, Lloyd and Yvette. Kevin has been a local painter in the community, and Glenda has been our loverly, wonderful local dental nurse for many many years.

On 28th December 2019 Kevin had a subarachnoid haemorrhage. He was flown to Wellington Hospital where he had surgery and as such is in ICU.

He is making slight improvements but the process ahead is going to be a long road including ongoing treatment and appointments.

Bit of a setback but on the mend again 🤞  31 January 2020

Kevin is now out of ICU and in the neuro patients ward in Wellington hospital where he is currently fighting a chest infection. When he is strong enough he will be transferred to Palmerston North hospital where he will begin his extensive rehabilitation to get back to every day life. The kids came back from Oz to see their dad a couple weeks ago and Yvette has stayed on to support mum and dad.
