Help us help Quentin
**See below for updated info**
The office of Richard Di Natale (Greens spokesperson for health) has been liaising with the Health Department on behalf of Quentin,
and have arranged for him to be given a Medicare Card, and all hospital
expenses back-dated. This takes us almost entirely out of the woods for hospital bills. I will discuss with the hospital what fees we may still need to pay, I know ambulance and new glasses will be a part of it. We also want to replace the blood-stained clothes that they took from Quentin for evidence. We would like to use the money raised to help him get back on his feet once released from hospital.
We want his dad with him as I've got to get working and once he's home he will need some care for the first few weeks. We would like to use some of the raised funds to get his dad to Australia (still much cheaper than a live-in nurse). Please get in touch if anyone is uncomfortable having their donation used for things other than medical bills.
*****************
Hi, we're Dan and Stacey - Quentin's housemate and girlfriend (in that order). We're trying to raise money to help pay for Quentin's medical bills and after-care.
For those who don't know, Quentin was viciously assaulted in an unprovoked attack while he and Dan were walking home from a night out and minding their own business. While Quentin is still in hospital, he is stable and we hope to have him home some time in the near future.
An ongoing criminal investigation is being undertaken and the Victorian police are doing everything in their collective power to catch the perpetrator.
We only have Quentin's recovery in our interests so we will spare no expense or effort to make sure he gets back to 100%
If any of you can spare any amount - big or small - it will be greatly appreciated.
For those of us that know Q, we know that he has touched our lives, both in a professional and personal way. He is a force of nature we want to have back in ship shape.
What We Need & What You Get
We need quite a bit to get us there but rest assured every penny (cent) pledged will go toward helping Quentin. Even if we don't reach our target, IndieGoGo will pass on around 90% of the raised funds!
We're not sure what perks we can offer but Quentin is the most connected guy out there, definitely a good friend to have.
To all the talented friends of Q out there: If you can offer a free photoshoot, class or any nice nic-nacs you have spare, we'd love to offer them to encourage people to donate. I'll (Dan) certainly wash the car of anyone who donates a couple of hundred dollars.
Make a real difference
This whole event has brought a lot of people together, evidence of how many people care about Quentin.
Your donation will ensure Quentin is well cared for and gets back to living life as we all know he does - to the fullest.
Other Ways You Can Help
Some people just can't contribute, we understand, please get the word out and hopefully someone can help Quentin recover from this atrocity.
