Can you help?
June 23rd, 2007
Hi there,
I would like some help on this matter please.
My husband and myself have a friend in Townsville who had an horrific motorbike accident yesterday and lost his leg. Although he is lucky that he is alive this must be devastinging for him and his family. He is a very active person ( a physical trainer in the RAAF) and I think this will make it even harder for them all. They have a little girl also. We are not able to get to them and visit. What I would like some advice on is what we can do or send to help at all. Flowers just won’t do it. I was thinking some kind of care package but am at a bit of a loss.
Thanks for the help 
Hi Jules, I am very sorry to hear about your friend. We are a motorbike family and are members of a motorbike social club so this is close to home. I will ask around and see if any one has some ideas for your friend.
Best wishes

Wow that’s not good news is it? I’m at a bit of a loose end as to what you can do to help, my first thought was to find some way to help out with meals as when you are spending all day at the hospital the last thing you think about is food and you need to to help keep your strength up.
Maybe you could find a restaurant that delivers and place an order with them, you could pay for it by credit card and let your friend’s family know that food will be being delivered on certain nights so they don’t have to think about that.
Hi there,
certainly not good news. He is so positive it is unbelievable. They are in Townsville and we are in Melbourne, so no popping over with a meal, but the delivery idea is great, thanks for that one.
He has had some good news from the RAAF in that they pay for everything and will always have a job for him also so that is a hugh relief.
Thanks for the thoughts

Hi Julie, It is such sad news. My Hubby is in the RAAF and knows Tony through a friend. It’s awful that it will be some time before he is able to return to his house.
