The 36-year-old father of two is facing life as a paraplegic after tragic complications following acute asthma.
The community and Jason’s wife Alysha Heywood are hoping to raise enough money to bring Jason home from Royal Rehabilitation Ryde where he is currently receiving treatment.
On Saturday, August 2 an appeal will be held at the Tullamore Bowling Club from 1-6pm and will feature a chocolate wheel, raffles and auctions.
There will also be a barbeque lunch and dinner as well as face painting and a jumping castle for the kids.
The Kidman-Heywood family are asking local schools, businesses and community organisations to consider donating monetary prizes or goods that can be auctioned or raffled.
Donations can be dropped into Tullamore Preschool, Yeoval UPA, GoodStart Early Learning Dubbo or collected by the fundraising committee.
Alternatively monetary donations can be deposited into the Reliance Credit Union account, with the details “Bring Jason Home Appeal”, account number 56 422, BSB 802 844.
