A family is urgently seeking assistance for Paul Kamoe, a man who suffered severe injuries in a road accident on Rewa Street. Currently in critical condition, Paul has a crushed spine and relies on intensive medical care, as highlighted on a fundraising page established in New Zealand.
The page reveals the challenges posed by Fiji’s healthcare system, which often struggles with limited medical supplies, rendering essential items either scarce or excessively expensive. The family is in dire need of supplies such as adult diapers, gloves, wound care materials, and other everyday necessities that they cannot afford.
The urgency of the situation is underscored by the fundraiser, which states, “Without these supplies, his dignity and even his chance to survive are at risk.” The family has expressed that the unexpected demand for ongoing medical essentials has created insurmountable pressure. Basic items, typically taken for granted, have become luxuries beyond their reach. “Every day without these essentials puts him in greater danger and adds immense stress on the family,” they shared.
To alleviate this burden, the family is appealing to the communities in New Zealand and beyond to help acquire and ship life-saving supplies to Fiji as quickly as possible. The funds raised through donations will be allocated toward purchasing adult diapers, wound care products, gloves, and other medical essentials, as well as for shipping costs incurred in sending these supplies to Fiji.
Those who wish to contribute can do so through the Givealittle page, which has been set up to facilitate donations and support the family in this critical time. This appeal not only highlights individual struggles but also casts a light on the pressing need for improved medical supply accessibility in Fiji.
