Help us bring Dylan Home

Our family is asking for help to bring Dylan home.

Our son Dylan is 23 years old and was reported missing on the 6th October 2025 after arriving to Sydney from Darwin. We have been seriously concerned for Dylan's mental health following some reports of his behavior before he went missing and so we launched an online campaign to try to find Dylan. We have been so grateful to the family, friends and strangers around the world who helped spread the word.

After an agonizing wait and weeks of uncertainty, he was finally found on the 21st October; disoriented, unwell, and suffering from a severe mental health crisis. It is evident that he has been sleeping rough in Sydney for over two weeks and he had no belongings with him when he was found.

He is now safe and receiving care in hospital, but he is far from home and from the family that loves and supports him. He will need to stay in Sydney for some time while he receives the care he so badly needs.

His parents are desperate to be with their son and to bring him home when he is well enough, but the unexpected costs of urgent travel, accommodation, and recovery-related expenses are beyond their means right now.

We’re asking for help to cover:

✈️ Flights to Sydney

Temporary accommodation

❤️ Support with getting Dylan safely home

If you are able to contribute, no matter how small, it would mean the world to our family. If there are any funds left over after Dylan gets home, we intend to donate them, equally to Irish Support Agency NSW AND Pieta House.

If you’re not able to give, please consider sharing this page.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness and support.
