WOW!!!! You've helped raise $1205 to the "Bring Steven Home Fundraiser" - THANK YOU!!!

This amazing community's combined efforts and generosity have helped Steven to reach his surgery goal on Go Fund Me.

Steven has been unable to leave Berlin pending major heart surgery. He requires insertion of a 5th heart stent, before his cardiac doctors will clear him to fly home. Sadly, this operation needs to be paid upfront and will cost in the order of $16,000!!!

Since arriving in Berlin for a short holiday, Steven has already undergone major emergency surgery to have 4 stents inserted and spent considerable time in ICU. He is now stable, but cannot be cleared to fly without a 5th stent!

Your donations have allowed him the potential to have this final surgery and fly home to family and friends in Adelaide.

We'd like to thank everyone who contributed funds (both in cash before the event and on the night), performances, artwork, prizes, advertising, media and promotion and loads of time and effort to make the Bring Steven Home Fundraiser a success.

Some special mentions to:

Todd Henderson (Host & Performer)
LuLu La Roux (Performer & Show Tickets Donation)
Helga Handfull (Performer & Merchandise Donation)
HeatherBell (Performer)

Marco Fuentes (Artwork Donation)
Caroline Swinburne (Multiple Raffle Prize Donations)
Craig Stephens (Door & Raffle Ticket Sales)
Julian & Jackie who ran the Sound & Lighting all night
and the Diverse-City staff who donated all their time planning, organising and running the event.

The venue, tech support, performances and prizes were all generously donated to enable maximum funds to reach Steven for his operation.

If you couldn't make it but would like to support Steven whilst he continues to be delayed in Berlin before his essential surgery you can still do so on the link below.
