Community Digs Deep For Orphaned Sons Of Greta Bus Crash Victims

 BY IAN CROUCH

Community support continues to pour in for the orphaned boys of a Singleton couple tragically killed in the Hunter Valley bus crash earlier this month.

Andrew and Lynan Scott were among the 10 victims of the crash at Greta on June 11.

They left behind two sons aged 2 and 4.

A GoFund Me page was set up to support and provide for the children into the future - it's so far raised more than $290,000.

Family and friends will gather for a private funeral tomorrow (Saturday 1 July, 2023) to farewell the couple.

Singleton family plead to bring mother-of-three Kylie Enwright home after horrific fall in Thailand

BY JACQUELYN RICHARDS

A couple's luxury holiday in Thailand quickly turned into a nightmare when 42-year-old Kylee Enwright took a horrific fall. 

Singleton couple and small business owners Kylee and Paul Enwright were holidaying after a busy Summer period and rough few years battling the COVID-19 pandemic and weather conditions. 

Little did they know the holiday would change their lives.

Kylee mistakenly stepped off a 50cm-high timber walkway, hitting her head forcefully onto the pavement and falling instantly unconscious.  

The mother-of-three is in a critical condition and has not regained consciousness for 11 days. 

She is now in a medically-induced coma, has her head shaved and is unable to communicate. 

Her devastated husband is pleading for help to have his wife medically evacuated and brought back to Australia, after their insurer Cover-More, refused to cover expenses including the $200,000 Medivac flight. 

It's been reported the family's hospital bills have already reached over $50,000, and they're expected to climb $5,000 every day Kylee remains in care. 

Although no blood tests were taken, the insurer used bar tabs and CCTV to determine her intoxication level, which they used to reject her claim.

Husband Paul said he was unaware of the alcohol clause in their travel insurance. 

Cover-More has said although they cannot assist financially they're offering all the non-financial assistance they can.  

Paul is begging the Australian community for help.

A GoFundMe page has been set up for Kylee which has already received 868 donations and raised $92,500.

Stockton Residents Taking Matters Into Their Own Hands

BY TYLER FARDELL


As the erosion on Stockton beach continues to threaten businesses and homes, frustrated residents say they will take the fight to the state government.

A GoFundMe page has been set up by Stockton resident Lucas Gresham, with the money raised going towards a community class action.

It comes after wild weather this week caused further erosion to the beach with the Stockton caravan park and popular beach cafe 'Lexie's on the beach' dangerously close to collapsing.

Businesses in Stockton are already feeling the effects of erosion with a childcare centre being forced to close this month as the site was no longer safe.

Newcastle city council undertook an emergency sand-bagging operation last week but it only serves as a temporary solution with no plan in place for the long term protection.

Lucas Gresham says the GoFundMe will get the matter brought before the Environmental Defenders Office, which is a community legal centre specialising in public interest environmental law.

The GoFundMe has raised almost $4500 in less than 24 hours.

You can donate to the cause here.

Go Fund Me Page For Salamander Bay Crash Victims

BY IAN CROUCH

The construction company who employed two men who died in last Friday's horrific crash at Salamander Bay has started a Go Fund Me page to raise money for the victim's families.

Lauri Jarman and Jamie Ward were passengers in a Mazda 3 which left the road and slammed into a tree - the driver and another passenger are still in hospital.

Mr Jarman was from Estonia - his family is trying to raise the money needed to get his body home, while Mr Ward is from Brisbane where he was raised by his grandparents who are struggling to afford the funeral costs.

It's understood police are yet to lay charges over the crash, with the driver expected to undergo surgery.
