Sean Harding Support Fund

[David Humphries]

As many of you will already be aware, one of our members suffered a very serious injury a few weeks ago.

 

In early March Sean was hit by a falling section of tree whilst at work. He was airlifted to Southmead Hospital where they found he had sustained a broken neck, a broken back, broken ribs and a punctured lung. His spinal cord was severely damaged and has caused paralysis from the waist down. He has had reconstructive bone surgery with titanium rods now holding his back together and the prognosis is that he will be in a wheelchair from now on.

 

 

A lot of our members have shown their support here on a couple of threads here at Arbtalk and elsewhere.

I know both he and his wife Susi, are extremely touched and grateful for this compassion. They are overwhelmed by the amazing show of support from all their circles of friends and family and even from people they don't know yet. Sean clearly holds a special place in their hearts from the daily outpourings of love and support that comes in on social media and the many visitors requesting to see him.

 

The future is very uncertain both physically, emotionally and financially for Sean and his family.

 

Friends have created a donation page to help with ongoing medical bills and for potential infrastructural changes in the family home.

 

Sean and Susi face a long road of recovery in which future expenses will mount up quickly (relocation, wheelchair adaptations, therapies, family expenses, equipment and medical services). Their family have been helping them financially so far, but friends have also been kindly offering and wanting to help also, something which they both feel incredibly humbled by.

 

This is not a public appeal but a means for those who wish to support them to do so without Susi and Sean having to deal with bank details and transfers, enabling them to concentrate on recovering and re-building their lives.

 

 

Sean is a well respected tree surgeon and takes great joy in being out in nature, conserving trees and the environment and encouraging others to do the same. He will do everything in his power to be back out there amongst his beloved trees as soon as humanly possible even if it is in a rough terrain wheelchair.

 

He is a very passionate & inspirational man.

 

If possible, please continue showing your support in any way that you can.

It all helps !

 

Thanks for reading.

It must be an incredibly tough situation for Sean and his family to be in. I've been reading his recounts of hospital life with interest and empathy. Just donated.

Wow. I am completely gobsmacked at the generosity and support of so many people. Thank you so much

[Al Cormack]

Donation made. Good luck with your future Sean. I had a close call with a large lump of wood a couple of weeks ago which made me stop and think. Things can change so quickly.

 

Cheers....Al
