Fundraiser for Dungloe men seriously injured on construction site in Perth

A fundraiser has been launched to aid two Dungloe men who suffered serious injuries on a construction site in Perth at the weekend.

John Wallace and Caolan Ward, both from Dungloe, sustained the injuries on Saturday last, May 10.

Both men are still in hospital and said to be recovering well. 

In a bid to ease the financial burden, friend Ryan Connors has launches a GoFundMe. You can donate by clicking here.

Ryan said: “Funds raised will go directly towards easing the financial burden that comes with an accident of this scale - including helping family members travel to be with them in Australia, covering accommodation and living expenses, and supporting the lads as they recover and eventually get back on their feet.

“There’s no set fundraising target at this point, as the full extent of their recovery needs and associated costs is still unknown. Our focus right now is on ensuring their families can be by their side and that any immediate expenses are covered.”

Over €3,600 has been raised so far. 

The pair are said to have “a long road ahead as they focus on their rehabilitation”.

The online fundraiser, Ryan says, is to offer practical support during this difficult time.
