Help Get Kevin Home

Back in January, Rathnew resident Kevin Moore aged 40, suffered a massive stroke.

Kevin was immediately taken to Beaumont Hospital.There he underwent 2 high risk surgeries and  placed in a medically induced coma to allow his brain to repair and recover from such a severe trauma.

For the next 3 weeks, Kevin remained in a coma and medical staff gave him a less that 1% chance of survival. But he kept fighting. 

At an already difficult time, Kevin and his family were dealt another blow as the COVID-19 pandemic was declared and the country went into lock-down. This meant that while Kevin was struggling to recover, his main support system of his wife Emma, their 3 children Toby, Kealen and Robyn could not see him.

In May, Kevin was ready to  move to the National Rehabilitation Hospital where he is undergoing months of intensive, carefully planned therapy, in order to allow him to regain use of his left-hand side & learn to walk again. 

Emma and the Family hope to have Kevin home by August but need to carry out massive modifications to their home.
