Support for Drew and Helen Dowsley: A Call for Compassion

We are reaching out to rally support for our dear friend Helen Dowsley and her son, Drew, who recently experienced a devastating accident. Drew was struck by a train in a tragic incident that could have been avoided. He has shown remarkable resilience, surviving despite severe injuries, including a broken back and the loss of his left hand and part of his right.

In the days leading up to the accident, Drew was in psychosis and sought help for his mental health at a Hospital but was turned away and told they couldn’t help him unless he hurt himself or someone else. He was found seven hours after the accident, and while he miraculously survived, the road to recovery will be long and challenging, both physically and mentally.

This unimaginable situation has placed immense strain on Helen and her family. Drew is undergoing surgeries every second day and faces a long recovery from this horrific ordeal. Helen and her family are currently living in the Southern Highlands and commuting daily to be by his side.

Helen is a kind-hearted and selfless person who always lifts others with her positivity. She is the one who counsels us through our life dramas on set, and now it’s our turn to stand by her and Drew.

We are aiming to raise $100,000 to assist with ongoing medical expenses, as well as to help Helen provide the care Drew needs while balancing her work commitments and caring for her 95-year-old mother. Although this is an ambitious goal, every dollar contributes to a brighter future for this wonderful family.

Let’s come together to help Helen and Drew navigate this incredibly tough time. Your generosity will make a meaningful difference in their lives as they support each other through this recovery journey.

All our love and support to Drew and Helen, and thank you for your kindness.

Vic, Pip, and Julia
