For over two decades, my father has been missing from my life. Growing up without him left me filled with anger and countless unanswered questions. As I became a father myself, I realized just how much I needed him in my life.

My father served in the Army, and despite years of searching, we had no idea where he was. We feared the worst. But everything changed earlier this week when my aunt received a message from a woman in Darwin, Australia. She had found my father. My cousin flew over immediately, and we confirmed—it was him.

Tragically, my father has suffered a major stroke, leaving him unable to communicate and paralyzed on his right side. He has been in a hospital for three months, isolated and unable to reach out to us.

After years of heartbreak, I now know that my father is the missing piece of my life. My family and I are determined to bring him home to New Zealand, where he belongs.

However, we are now facing a legal battle. Due to his long isolation, the Australian Public Trust has taken guardianship of him. We are fighting to regain that guardianship so we can ensure he gets the care he deserves and begin the journey of bringing him

Thank you for any support you can provide. Whether it’s a donation, a share, or simply keeping our family in your prayers, I am deeply grateful.
