Help Taidgh Turn Tragedy to Triumph

My name is Hannah, a proud aunty to Taidgh. I’ve created this page to support Taidgh, whose life changed forever on 2nd Jan 2025, when he was a passenger in a tragic car accident. Taidgh has suffered multiple fractures to his skull, face, neck, and back, requiring two major surgeries. Despite these immense challenges, he is showing incredible strength and determination (in true Taidgh style). Currently, he is in Middlemore Hospital, where he’s making steady progress each day, with his parents, Toni & Donie, by his side around the clock.

Soon, Taidgh will take the next big step in his recovery, transferring to the Burwood Spinal Unit in Christchurch. This will be an intense and challenging journey, and while we don’t yet know what his future holds, we do know he’ll need all the support he can get. ACC will provide some financial support. Donations will go directly to Taidgh for his recovery and future needs—specialised equipment, rehabilitation, and anything else required to help him regain his independence and comfort.

I’ll provide updates here about Taidgh’s progress, while always respecting his and his family’s privacy.

Your generosity will make a profound difference in Taidgh’s life, helping to ease the challenges he faces and surrounding him with love and support as he navigates his recovery. Thank you for being part of his journey and giving him hope for a brighter future.

P.S. If you’re worried about Taidgh rocking those hospital gowns as “fashion”, don’t worry… we are too.
