Crowdfunding
Project:
«Christophe’s thumb needs surgery!»
Call for donations: open
Start of crowdfunding: August 13, 2020
Goal: to pay for the surgery carried out in the Royal Hobart Hospital
Time limit: January 1, 2021
Funds needed: 3526 AUD $ (2115 Euros)
Story: friends in Murdunna had given us a hand sewing new upholstery for our v-berth and bunks, in turn we offered our help cutting firewood. What could have been a beautiful example of community work, ended abruptly with Christophe’s thumb getting caught between a log and the hydraulic wood splitter. He was rushed to the public hospital in Hobart, 100 km away, to find out that he had been extremely lucky – all bones were intact as well as the nerves. A plastic surgery was still necessary to fix him up but there is a likely chance of full recovery.
Our gratitude goes to: good drivers Tim and Carol, Rob and Gina, David and Kathryn; friendly and professional Royal Hobart Hospital Emergency and Short Stay Surgery teams; David and Kathryn for offering us their home and care in Hobart.
Nonetheless the hospital bill adds up to more than what is our 4 months budget. We turn to you for support!
