OT: Urgent request for New Zealand members

Aida

Veteran

My uncles-in-law are visiting New Zealand and were involved in a serious car accident. One was badly injured and was just today flown to Christchurch for surgery and observation, and his partner is having some legal issues with the accident. They have health coverage and legal coverage (as far as I know), but it's a very difficult situation for them. I was wondering if there are any forum members either in or near Christchurch who I could give contact info (email) to see if there is some help they need; I'm not sure what help that would be, I am guessing mostly support. Please please PM me if you can help, I really appreciate it. Thank you all <3

Aida,

Obviously I cannot help but I just want to say I am so sorry to hear this and send them all of my good wishes and thoughts. What a terrible thing to have happen.

I have a work friend in Christchurch, if that's any use?

Aida, that is terrible! What a scary situation to find yourself in another country!
I hope they will be all right...

Aida, this is awful news, I am so sorry. Londonkiwi (Fi) is now back in New Zealand (not sure where tho). Perhaps you could PM her.

So sorry Aida. I can't help either. My thoughts are with them (and you, worrying from far away).

Oh no, Aida. So sorry to hear this. You might like to PM, Fi. (Londonkiwi) too.

We send healing thoughts and wish your family the very best.

Thank you so much ladies! I will PM Fi (though if her profile city is current, she's a good ways away from Christchurch). I appreciate all the well wishes and will pass them along <3

Sending good vibes! I hope someone can get in touch with them - a scary incident anywhere, but extra scary in a foreign country without your family around. Hugs to you and the rest of the family who have to wait it out far away, too.

Hi

Am happy to help out, even though I do live some distance away. I know what it is like to have a partner in hospital in another country. I sure he will make a speedy recovery and be home for Christmas.

Oh, Aida, I'm sending my healing thoughts to your loved ones and a big hug to you and hope they get all the care that's needed at this time. It's good you reached out as I'm sure it's very unsettling for your family right now. Thinking good thoughts.

Aida - I am so sorry to hear this! What a horrible experience for them - and their family back here, being so far away! I hope that you are able to get in contact with them and provide the support that they need. Prayers and love being sent your way!
