My favorite Aussie newsfeed submitter Botexty sent me in this story of a community pulling together to help someone close to them.

Mrs Hearnden suffered terrible injuries when she fell from a cliff in Dubrovnik, breaking both her arms, her jaw, hip and rupturing internal organs.  Her kidney and spleen were removed and she faces many more operations.  She and her husband, Gareth, were just a month into a five-month world tour when she fell 14m on to rocks last Monday.

This Friday, Tanya’s cousin and tattoo studio manager, Stacey Todd, has asked tattoo artists at 100 tattoo studios throughout the country to ask clients to donate the cost of a tattoo.  She has asked tattoo artists to contribute designs to a book, the online sale of which will help pay the family’s expenses.

    There are some other studios around also taking part such as Devil’s Ink.

  5. I believe the expenses are for the family, not Tanya – healthcare doesn’t cover your mum having to fly to another country to sit by your bedside.
