Alon is 21 years old with a young wife and 12 month old son. He comes from the island of Malo - just off the island of Espiritu Santo, Vanuatu.

His future was looking very bright for him & his lovely young family when a tragedy took it all away from him.
On the morning of December 26th, 2015, he was involved in a motor vehicle accident from which he suffered numerous injuries, the worst of which being fractured vertibrae. The diagnosis is that - 'he will never walk again'. Very sad news for his wife, family & friends and ourselves who have been helping people here in Vanuatu for almost 5 years. .with the re buildng of schools, scholarships, and a sponsor a child program.
The money will be used for his medical expenses and equipment needed eg: wheelchair, special spinal bed, and anything else needed to help his re habilitation.
There is no goverment assistance or health care cover schemes here in Vanuatu, so the costs have to be met in any way they can, from people that sell pinapples for a living in a 3rd world country!
So, while he will stay in hospital for a few more weeks, we need to collect funds before his discharge so he has the equipment needed as soon as he heads home, and then continuously for his on going home care ie: physio, doctors visits etc ...
Please help Alon & his family as they face an enormous challenge trying to help Alon to have the best future that he can in an under developed country with no facilities to accommodate the help he requires .
