Please Help Bring Our Daughter Home
Donation protected
Our beautiful daughter Maddi sadly may never walk again after a devastating fall from a 60ft balcony whilst on her dream holiday in Thailand. Since the fall we are now coping with the realisation that potentially she may never walk again. After the fall Maddi was left on the floor for 40 minutes helpless until an ambulance finally arrived.
As a family we are absolutely devastated to learn that Maddi didn’t have the adequate travel insurance to cover repatriation - what vibrant 21 year old would think to read the terms & conditions.
We've flown out to Thailand and met with the Drs and the British Embassy, we have been advised that medical evacuation could cost up to 100k and treatment costs are mounting daily. We have already paid for her operations, treatments and medications up to date and will continue to do so but Our biggest concern now is bringing her home.
Her lungs aren’t stable enough to fly without ICD drains on both sides, but to fly with drains requires a repatriation team to fly over with all necessary medical equipment and fly her home safely. To fly without ICD drains the nurses have advised us we will not be able to fly home for one whole year. This is not an option, every single minute here is time taken away from her rehabilitation at home and chance to get the right help to encourage walking again.
To put it in black and white - ICD drains require a whole medical team at a high cost but no ICD drains means we can’t fly home for 12 months.
Any donations will only go on medication and transfer costs and if we are lucky enough to exceed this target all donations will go to other charities and hopefully help someone else in as much need as Maddi is
Any donations at all we are extremely grateful.
