  • Burwood visit

      19 June 2022

    Hi all we had a great day with Boobs yesterday at Burwood spinal unit, Ants and Debs flew down from the North Island on Thursday and visited him Friday and Trish and I drove up from Dunedin to surprise the big man on Saturday

    We spent a good 3hrs with him chatting and having a few good laughs - it was great to see him

    I can tell you he's really determined to move forward and was very keen to show us the progress he's making after having physio for the last week or so - still a long way to go but he's fighting hard

    You can see a new up loaded picture on the Givealittle page of us all with Boobs after Dave helped him with a MacDonalds burger which he really enjoyed

    Keep the kind words coming and spread the givealittle word

    Thankyou all

    Woody

    Hi there one and all

    Had a video call with the big man yesterday and he's certainly a bit more upbeat especially now that he's got a bit of stubble on his chin,that signature beard will be back in no time

    Keep the kind wishes coming and spread the word about the givealittle page

    We all especially family and Jen very much appreciate the kind words and dontions

    Thanking you

      Hey Big Guy

      Awesome to hear steps are being made in a positive direction and you can still laugh about life and all its foibles.

      I had to Google where the Spinal Unit is ... crikey man you're a fair way from home.

      Give my hugs to Jen and I hope to catch up if you're up for it.

      Best wishes for a 100% recovery and good food LOL

      Take care xxx

  • Great support

      17 May 2022

    Hi everybody I would just like to say what fantastic support you've all shown Steve

    With just on $7000 raised this will go a long way in paying some bills for Steve that must be mounting up

    The big man is now in Christchurch and soon to go to Burwood spinal unit,he has had some visitors and they tell me progress has been slow

    So here's wishing Steve well in his recovery

    Please keep sharing the Give alittle page

    We really do appreciate all your kind words and support

    Cheers
