GoFundMe Final Update — Stephan Fischer

To everyone who donated, shared, or simply sent a message of support over the past two years — thank you. From the bottom of my heart. I genuinely would not have made it through this without you.

I have now closed donations on this campaign.

I also want to say something to the people who kept donating well after the target was reached — and many of you did. You didn't have to. The legal goal was covered. But you gave anyway, and I think you understood that this case cost more than just legal fees. That means more to me than I can properly put into words.

If anyone who donated is now going through financial hardship or wants a refund for any other reason, please reach out to me directly with your name, email and the amount you donated. I will refund you personally, no questions asked.

On the Royal Flying Doctors donation — it's coming, but it will take a little while to work through properly. Over the course of this case there were significant auxiliary expenses not covered by the court order, and I need to sit down with my accountant to understand any tax implications before I transfer anything. I want to do this right, not rush it.

I'm already in contact with the Royal Flying Doctors Service, and the donation will be split between three sections NSW, QLD and SA/NT— the regions where I travel the most. I've driven through those areas more times than I can count and, thankfully, never needed the RFDS. But any one of those trips could have changed that. They do extraordinary work in country Australia and they deserve this.

I'll post a final update once the donation is made and confirmed.

Thank you again — all of you.
