A Givealittle page has been established to support the family of Phoebe, an Inglewood teenager who is fighting for her life in Wellington Hospital following a serious crash in Toko.

Phoebe was involved in the Toko crash on Monday. She was rushed to Wellington Hospital and is currently in a coma fighting for her life. Family friends have setup a Givealittle page (linked in the comments below) to support her family during this difficult time. Please consider supporting if you can, and help spread the word.

The page description reads:

“On June 8, our beloved friends Natalie & Steve faced every parents worst nightmare. Their daughter, Phoebe, was involved in a devastating car accident. Now, Phoebe is fighting for her life in Wellington Hospital, where she remains in a coma, on a ventilator, & suffering from severe injuries, including numerous facial fractures, a smashed pelvis & a brain injury.

Phoebes condition is critical, & every moment counts. Natalie, Steve & their 3 other daughters, Sophie, Lily & Zoe are committed to being by Phoebe's side during this challenging time. However, the financial strain of being away from home, coupled with the inability to work, has added an overwhelming burden to their already heavy hearts.

We are reaching out to our community to rally around this wonderful family. Your kind donations will help cover essential costs such as accomodation, travel & daily expenses while they remain in Wellington, ensuring they can focus entirely on Phoebe's recovery without the added stress of financial worries.

Every contribution, no matter how small, will make a significant difference. Let us come together to support Natalie, Steve, & their girls, showing they are not alone in this battle. Your generosity and prayers are immensely appreciated.

Thank you for your compassion and support during this heart-wrenching time. Let’s help bring Phoebe back home safely, surrounded by the love and strength of her family.”

Use of funds: All funds raised will go to Natalie for accomodation, travel and daily essential costs, so they can be with Phoebe while she recovers and returns home to Inglewood.
