Search for Michael

Hello Everyone, I’m Jodie, Brendan's fiancée. You may or may not be aware, Brendan's brother Michael Eather, was holidaying with friends, travelling the world and living their dreams. Unfortunately, Michael recently went missing on the Rio Cahabon river while travelling in Guatemala on 23 January.

Despite extensive efforts by the Guatemala Government, locals, volunteers and especially Michael’s travelling companions, Michael still remains missing. The volunteers, who are searching for Michael, are working in particularly harsh terrain and conditions. They have very limited resources and to maximise their search efforts they require specialist equipment not available in Guatemala. On behalf of Michael’s family and friends we would like to give a heartfelt ‘thank you’ to the Government of Guatemala, the police, the army, fire fighters, the Red Cross and all those from the community are helping us look for our son. We are forever grateful to you all.

Many people have been asking Michael's parents, Brett and Tracy, what they can do to help. I’ve decided to create this ’Search for Michael’ “Go Fund Me” page to help raise funds to assist with acquiring search equipment and any other resources they may need. These funds will be used for:  Purchase/ hire equipment not available in Guatemala required to extend the search area into more difficult terrain. Helping the search and rescue team with fuel for vehicles.  Food to feed the searchers and volunteers, who are helping search for Michael. Michael’s family have personally distributed funds for the fuel and food for the searches on the ground and for the reward that has been posted.

We are very appreciative of any assistance you can offer to help locate Michael and bring him home safely. To donate please go to (GO FUND ME LINK)
An account has been set up in the names of Tracy Eather (Michael’s mum) and Brendan Perrett (Michael’s brother).
