Help Mark & Natasha Rainger get their son home from Surat Thani, Thailand.
Help get Loukas Rainger home safely from Thailand.
Nationwide
Last week my 18 year old nephew Loukas was arrested arrested and accused of stealing a watch Thailand.
With lots of effort and money he was granted bail on 21st July and has been reunited with his mother Tash. He now needs to wait in the Surat Thani province for some months for court proceedings and an outcome. This has been incredibly traumatic and there is still a long way to go to resolve the situation, and for Loukas to return home to his family in Tauranga.
This page has been set up to help the Rainger family with flight costs, accommodation, and living costs while they are in Thailand supporting him. If you can help in even a small way it will go a long way to ensuring the Rainger family feel supported during this time, and that Loukas can get the best possible help during this ordeal.
We all pray for his safe return.

We are so pleased to hear that Loukas was reunited with his mum at late last night in Surat Thani on 21/07. It has been a big ordeal for both of them, and they are recovering today in the accommodation they have found for the next few months. Next steps are preparing for visa extensions, lawyer fees, and court appearances every 2 weeks until the first hearing in September.
