HELP TO BRING LIAM HOME

BRING LIAM HOME! (Update written by family friend Meg Dolan)

 This family has bravely confronted numerous trials in their journey. 

Now, more than ever, they need our support! We reach out as a devoted assembly of emergency nurses, doctors, hospital staff, and the compassionate communities of Lambton and New Lambton who hold this family dear. 

Many of you may know Kirstie and her beloved sons, Adam and Liam. In a heartbreaking turn of events, just before the return to Trinity High School at the end of January, 13-year-old Liam experienced a devastating fall. 

This accident has left him with critical injuries to his head, pelvis, spine, and lower limbs. He was transported to Westmead Hospital, where he has been receiving intensive care, due to embark on a long and arduous journey of recovery and rehabilitation. Our cherished emergency nursing colleague and dear friend, Kirstie, remains steadfast by Liam's side, accompanied by her eldest son, Adam. Together, they face these challenging and uncertain days. As you can imagine, the past few weeks have been overwhelming, and we are all enveloping them in our love and support. We thank you for your generosity so far and hope to continue to raise funds to help ease the financial burdens that will inevitably arise in the coming months, allowing Kirstie to bring Liam back home to New Lambton once he is discharged from Sydney. Being home, surrounded by cherished friends and family, will undoubtedly lighten the path of his rehabilitation. To facilitate this return, we must make necessary adaptations to their family home, ensuring it is accessible for Liam when he is ready to come home. After bravely battling breast cancer, Kirstie stands as a resilient single mother—a beacon of strength, much like Liam, as he bravely faces one surgery after another. She has always been the first to extend a helping hand to others; now it is our turn to reflect that kindness. Let us unite our community groups, hospitals, schools, soccer clubs—whatever it takes—to prepare the sanctuary for precious Liam’s hopeful return home in the coming months. Any contributions, no matter how small, will be immensely appreciated. We will be having a fundraising night in March, details to come. Together, let’s BRING LIAM HOME!
