Emma Needs Your Urgent Help

Donation protected
On Thursday, November 28th, Emma Eakin's life took a devastating turn when she was involved in a serious accident in Marrakech, Morocco.

This vibrant, 36-year-old woman, known for her infectious laughter and selfless nature, is now fighting for her life.

Emma sustained severe injuries, including:

* Severe lung trauma, requiring constant oxygen support
* Liver lacerations and internal bleeding
* Multiple spinal fractures (L1-L5)
* Six broken ribs
* A fractured shoulder
* Severe sternum trauma

Due to language barriers and the complexity of her injuries, a full medical assessment is still ongoing. The initial scans focused on her chest, abdomen, and pelvis, but potential additional injuries remain unknown.

A Desperate Plea for Help

The only way to bring Emma home to Northern Ireland for specialised care is through medical repatriation, a costly process estimated to cost between £25,000 and £50,000 depending on her clinical condition.

Additionally, her daily hospital bills in Marrakech are a staggering £1,500, putting an immense financial burden on her family.
Despite having travel insurance, a policy limitation has left Emma and her family in a dire situation. Her family has exhausted all their resources, but the rising costs continue to escalate.

Your Support Can Make a Difference

We are urgently seeking to raise as much as possible but have given ourselves a target of £25,000 to begin with (which we may have to increase) to cover the exorbitant medical repatriation costs and ongoing medical expenses.

Every contribution, no matter how small, will bring Emma closer to home and the care she desperately needs.

If you can't contribute financially, please share this campaign on social media. Every share brings us closer to reaching more people and raising the necessary funds.

Let's Bring Emma Home to Northern Ireland.

Emma has always been there for others, now it's our turn to support her. Your kindness and generosity will not only help her physically but also provide her with the emotional support she needs to recover.

Together, we can bring Emma home and give her a chance to heal and rebuild her life. All funds will be transferred directly to Emma's mum, Julie.

Thank you for your compassion and support.
