The Proudies Foundation has been and continues to be the most amazing support for Warrick since his car accident in 2011 that left him nonverbal, wheelchair-bound and with a severe traumatic brain injury.

We are and will be forever grateful for the compassion, kindness and astounding generosity that has kept us afloat all this time by not only the foundation but also a whole community that, in some way, has been touched by our courageous son and brother.”

About Warrick

Warrick was seriously injured in a freak car accident in July 2011, when the car he was travelling in as a passenger collided with a horse. Warrick sustained major head injuries which resulted in significant brain damage. He remains in a vegetative state and requires 24-hour care and whilst he can communicate through blinking and an eye-gaze device, his responses are inconsistent.

How you can help make a difference

Over the years, the Proudies foundation has funded major responsibilities such as house modifications to enable us to take care of Warrick at home respectfully, and the acquisition of a specially modified van for Warrick’s transport. Warrick’s ever-increasing and on-going equipment, therapy and medical expenses are also funded by the foundation as his Disability pension wouldn’t cover them.

The people behind the foundation

The Proudies Foundation’s existence is entirely dependent on the dedication and kindness of volunteers who sacrifice their time, expertise, advocacy and fundraising support. The current and past Members of the Management Committee are made up of people from varied backgrounds and ages, all with one common purpose; to raise money and manage the Foundation.

 
 
 

 “Warrick’s life journey still remains a huge rollercoaster, with ever-changing and escalating care needs. Thanks to the foundation for continuously striving to lessen the burden of his care and support.”
