This page has been created to help Shaun Petersen and his family through the financial hardship of an unprovoked home invasion and brutal stabbing attack.

On the 31st of December, Shaun was stabbed at his home south of Sydney. He was stabbed in the head, which fractured his skull, and in the stomach. He is lucky to still be with us today. After many operations to save his life, he remains under close monitoring and special care in hospital.

A traumatic and ruthless event like this has left a huge burden on Shaun and his family. Shaun is unable to work and provide for his teenage daughter - Leif; and soon-to-be wife - Stacey. But stepping away from the financial hardship that Shaun may face, is the emotional and physical trauma caused within his family.

When Shaun isn't busy at work or with his family, he is out chasing waves. He is one of the most dedicated watermen, being national champion for bodyboarding, competing several times overseas, in places like Hawaii and Tahiti. However, in Shaun's case, we do not know when he can return to the water. It could be anywhere from months to years. Anyone that knows shaun, knows he is there any second there is waves. This is going to be tough for him.

The purpose of this Go Fund Me is to provide some relief for Shauns financial situation. I’m kindly asking for any small donation that can go towards paying bills while Shaun is unable to work.

Please share the best you can and send wishes to Shaun and his Family during this hard time.
