Chris ‘Sid’ Armstrong

It is with great sadness that we are setting up this Gofundme to ask for support as the family of Chris Armstrong fondly known as Sid to everyone. Sid a caring and loving father and husband. A gentle soul who would help anyone and not ask for anything in return. But who we know would be eternally grateful for any help received.

 

Sid has sadly suffered a devastating Brain injury due to a tragic incident in Krakow, Poland, whilst celebrating his Birthday with wife Jill. Sid is currently in Hospital in Poland with an intracranial haemorrhage (bleed to the brain) which unfortunately due to the dangers cannot be operated on. He is currently critical but stable, however the road ahead is long and uncertain, with it being possibly weeks or months until he recovers or until the severity of his injury is known. It is a waiting game and we must take each day at a time.

The duration of his stay in hospital in Poland remains uncertain, as he is currently unable to travel due to his medical condition. When he is eventually stable enough to be moved, he will require specialised medical transport by land or sea back to Ireland. This prolonged and complex situation is expected to result in a significant financial burden.

We are asking our community, friends and family and anyone who knows Sid, Jill and their children Ben and Nèna to help at this very difficult time.

 

Thank you for taking the time to read this and for any donation big or small to help. If you could also please share this with as many friends and family members as possible it would be much appreciated.

 

The family appreciates all the messages of support, prayers and well wishes and are sorry they can’t reply to everyone at this time.

 

Thanks from Jill, Nèna, Ben and all the Armstrong & Murphy extended family.
