Jayson's Recovery ❤️

From a mother’s heart – asking for help during a difficult time to support her kids & their father.

Hi everyone,

I never thought I’d be writing something like this, but as a mum, when your kids are hurting & their father Jayson needs our love & support - you do whatever it takes to be there for them & make things as comfortable as possible.

On Thursday night, my son Cody found his dad, Jayson, unconscious. It was an unimaginable moment. Thankful Cody was close by & was able to scream for help. Two complete strangers performed CPR while waiting for an ambulance. Because of all their quick actions and the incredible medical team at Sunshine Coast University Hospital - Jayson is still with us. They saved his life & we cannot be more grateful!

Once at the hospital, Jayson was placed into an induced coma to give his body and brain a chance to rest and recover. We still don’t have all the answers at the moment - it may have been a heart attack, stroke or cardiac arrest. He had also suffered broken ribs from the CPR.

Today (Sunday 13th April), the nurses were able to begin bringing him out of the coma. While it’s a huge relief, we know it’s just the beginning of a journey to recovery.

My daughter Tia and I travelled from NSW to be with Cody and Jayson during this incredibly tough time. Thankfully, the hospital helped us find a place to stay nearby, but the cost of accommodation, fuel and food is quickly adding up. Even if it means having to stay up here for multiple weeks we will be by his side the whole way no matter what it takes, it just helps all of us to have one less thing to stress about through such a traumatic time.

As a family, we never imagined asking for financial help - but right now, we need it.

If you’re in a position to contribute, no matter how small, it would mean the world to us. Every dollar will go directly towards accommodation, travel and living costs while we support Jayson.

Thank you for reading and for keeping our family in your thoughts and prayers.

With love and gratitude,

Sam, Tia, Cody & Kiara ❤️
