Mo's progress
11 November 2025It’s been 7 weeks now since Mo’s injury, and we’re so happy to share that he’s making steady progress every day.
After spending 42 days in intensive care, Mo has now been in the rehabilitation ward for 11 days and is improving day by day. He’s re-learned to eat, walk, speak — and even dance! His memory is slowly returning: he remembers his mum, his dogs, and his Oma and Opa in Germany, and is beginning to recall parts of his more recent life too, little by little.
German comes more naturally right now.
He’s supported by an amazing team in the rehab ward and enjoys spending time in the garden — soaking up sunshine, listening to the birds, and rediscovering some of his favourite foods like burgers and caramel slice!
Mo’s brain is still healing, and he has a long journey of recovery ahead that will require ongoing specialist care and support. His next big step is returning to Germany, to be closer to family and to access the care he needs.
We continue to raise funds for a medically supported flight home for Mo. He has no medical insurance, and the cost of this flight home is around $75,000 NZD. Anything raised beyond that will go toward the medical costs of ICU care and rehabilitation in New Zealand.
We are so encouraged by his progress, and so grateful for all the love, prayers, and support from this community. Every contribution and message makes a difference. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
