Story
We are asking for help during a time no family ever expects to face.Following a tragic car accident at the end of December, our parents remain critically injured in ICU, and we are grieving the devastating loss of our brother, Patrick. Our focus right now is on being present, sitting by hospital beds, supporting one another, and navigating grief one day at a time.
This situation has also created significant financial strain. Many of us are unable to work, some are self-employed with no paid leave, and we have immediate family travelling from overseas. Being together feels essential, but it comes with unavoidable costs.
The funds raised will help cover both immediate and ongoing expenses, including:
Day-to-day living costs while we are away from home
Travel expenses to and from the hospital, including international travel
Accommodation and food during long hospital stays
Funeral and memorial costs for Patrick
Future costs related to our parents’ recovery, rehabilitation, and ongoing care
Loss of income during this period of crisis
Any support you are able to give will help relieve the practical burden we are carrying, allowing us to focus on caring for our parents and supporting each other through grief. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this page also means more than we can say.
Thank you for holding our family in your thoughts during this incredibly difficult time.
