Shared on behalf of the family
On October 11th 2025, 14-year-old Samuel was attacked by a shark while fishing with his friends on Thursday Island. He is currently in critical condition, receiving urgent medical care in Townsville and will be transferred soon to Brisbane.
This fundraiser has been set up to support Samuel and his family during this difficult time.
While Samuel fights to recover, his family is facing overwhelming emotional and financial challenges.
Your donation will help relieve some of the pressures they’re facing right now.
Funds raised will help cover:
- Medical expenses
- Travel and accommodation costs for Samuel’s family to be by his side while he receives care
- Household and living expenses while his parents take time off work
- Future recovery needs
Your generosity will give Samuel's family one less thing to worry about as they focus on what truly matters, his healing and recovery.
Thank you for your compassion, prayers, and support during this difficult time.
On behalf of Samuel's family,
Yessie.
