Please help us get Ellie home

Hi everyone, at the beginning of May my daughter Ellie set off to Cyprus to fulfil her dreams of going abroad on an adventure. She was looking forward to meeting new people and creating lifelong memories.

Unfortunately on June 26th, Ellie was involved in a major road traffic accident in Cyprus and is currently in a medically induced coma in the ICU. She has suffered a serious head injury, fractured spinal cord and clavicle. We urgently want to get her home to Manchester, to be treated in a specialist neurology hospital where she can heal and hopefully recover close to her family and friends.

The cost of repatriation from Nicosia Hospital in Cyprus to the UK is significant and not covered by Ellie’s insurance and this has meant we have had to reach out for help.

We would really appreciate any help and financial support that you are able to give Ellie. Your donation will go directly towards the cost of on-going medical treatment in Cyprus and an air ambulance back to the UK. Any amount you can contribute will help Ellie to get the care and treatment she needs to reach a full recovery.

As you can imagine this is any parents worst nightmare and I desperately need to get her home. Thank you so much, Leanne xx

Because of the unbelievable amount of support and people messaging the family directly asking if they can still make a donation, we have re-opened the fundraiser and increased the limit. Thank you to everybody who has and is contributing we never expected such an overwhelming and generous response and every penny will be spent on Ellie’s recovery xx
