Because of every person who showed up, donated, shared the story, and supported in any way possible, Daniel has officially reached his fundraising goal.

He will now be able to have the life-changing surgery he needs and take a step toward living without the constant pain he has carried for so long.

This is what community looks like.
Plett, you showed up in the most beautiful way.

Thank you to every single person who played a part in making this happen. 🙏

Today we celebrate a very special birthday in the house 🥳

Clayton… happiest of birthdays to you!

Thank you for everything you pour into Surf Cafe, the time, the graft and the way you always back your people. You’ve built more than just a spot to eat and meet… you’ve created a space where staff feel like family and where the community always feels welcome.

Your heart for Plett, your generosity, and the way you show up when it matters most never go unnoticed.

If you see him make sure to give him a proper birthday cheer 🍻

Our local lad, Daniel Donachie, was struck by a drunk driver while performing his duties as a paramedic — an accident that changed his life forever. Since 2018, Daniel has had no function or feeling in his left arm and lives with constant, unbearable pain.

After years of fighting, his last hope is a pre-amputation operation scheduled for 6 March 2026 in Cape Town. The total cost needed is R30 000. So far, about R5 000 has been raised, but there is still a long way to go. Daniel also needs to be in Cape Town by 4 March, with accommodation near Panorama Clinic for two days before the procedure.

Daniel has always shown up for our community — volunteering with Plett Watch, serving as a PBCPA member, and assisting on medical duties whenever needed. Now it’s our turn to show up for him.

Let’s help make that possible. 🤍
