HELP FIND ELI 25 years old! Missing on Mitre Peak Newzeland

Hi, I'm creating a Go fund me page for my friend and fer family to hopefully raise money to help find Eli Sweeting, He's been missing since Sunday (4th May) after going on a solo hike up Mitre Peak moutain in Newzeland.

The family are flying across the world to help find him.

Statement from Serena Sweeting:

Eli Sweeting has been missing since sunday 4th May after failing to return home from a hike up Mitre Peak in New Zealand. There has currently been an incredible effort made by the New Zealand Police, Search and rescue, alpine search and rescue, the real New Zealand and from Milford Sound locals.

There has been a light spotted at a point along the route down the mountain and all efforts have been focused there. Searches have had to be halted over Wednesday and Thursday due to weather warnings. The challenges are that the Bush is so dense that it is hard for infrared to pick up any signs. Searches are due to contine from Friday 9th.

We need more people on the ground but this has to be experienced climbers who can safely belay themselves in and out of the area.

We are looking for financial support to go towards the search and rescue teams to get the people and equipment out there safely as well as seeking people who have drones who could support the teams as sometimes this type of equipment is limited.

We would also like to raise money for New Zealand search and rescue and Alpine zearch and rescue and the Real New Zealand to say thank you and to aid them in the incredible life saving work they do.

My brother is an experienced climber and has hiked in this terrain many times. I also spend time in the mountains and know how incredible it can be up there, but how quickly things can change. It could happen to any of us.

Being in the mountains and adventure is what my brother lives for and he spends lots of time preparing for these adventures and training.

My brother is one of the kindest, most compassionate people in my life and he has always been there for me. He inspires me to live and get out of my comfort zone, as well as listens and genuinely wants to know you and your story. Anyone who has met him will know what I mean. He has such a positive, vibrant and supportive energy.

All Elis family are currently in Milford Sound trying to aid in the search. We are based in England. We just want him home safe. It doesn't need to be a big donation, every little helps, even sharing this page. If you can help it would mean the world to us all. Thank you for reading ❤️

any help and support the family can get will be greatly appreciated in this difficult time i just pray they find Eli
