John & Caolan’s Recovery Fund

On Saturday, 10th May, John Wallace and Caolan Ward from Dungloe, Co. Donegal were seriously injured in an accident on a construction site in Perth, Australia. Thankfully, both are now in hospital and recovering well, but they have a long road ahead as they focus on their rehabilitation.

Understandably, many friends, family members, and members of the wider community have been in touch, asking how they can help. In response, we’ve set up this GoFundMe to offer practical support to John, Caolan, and their families during this difficult time.

Funds raised will go directly towards easing the financial burden that comes with an accident of this scale — including helping family members travel to be with them in Australia, covering accommodation and living expenses, and supporting the lads as they recover and eventually get back on their feet.

There’s no set fundraising target at this point, as the full extent of their recovery needs and associated costs is still unknown. Our focus right now is on ensuring their families can be by their side and that any immediate expenses are covered.

Every donation, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference and is deeply appreciated by John, Caolan, and their families.

Thank you for your kindness and support.

Organised by Ryan Connors, cousin of John and friend of Caolan. This fundraiser ensures direct financial support to John, Caolan and their families. The funds will be allocated to cover essential needs such as travel to Australia, living expenses, and medical/rehabilitation care for the boys.
