    Story

    Hi my name is Shauna, this is my boyfriend Kieran. Just 10 days into our 3 week dream holiday in Thailand, it turned into a nightmare. Kieran fell from our hotel balcony, he fell 3 floors down and suffered an open book pelvic fracture which caused internal bleeding. After the traumatic accident, we had to get a speedboat from Phi Phi to Phuket so he could receive a lifesaving operation at Bangkok Phuket Hospital to stop the internal bleeding and stabilise his pelvis. Without the work of the hospital in Thailand, the situation could have been much more grave. He currently has external pelvic fixations and cannot move from a laying down position. He needs a second operation to insert internal fixations before he can start the long recovery process ahead before he will be able to sit on a flight to get home.

    The doctors advised that we fly home in an air ambulance for his second operation, however we have been given quotes from £170,000-£250,000 without any help from the insurance. Unfortunately nobody is in a position to be able to afford this. 11 days post-accident and after an exhaustive and tiring fight with the insurance company, where they are trying to get themselves out of the claim, we are yet to receive a single penny to help.

    We are now stuck in Thailand with no hope and rising hospital bills, we cannot keep up with the payments or afford to get home. His family have exhausted their savings on medical bills, the hospital are pressing for payments and we are no closer to getting home. The more delayed the second operation gets, the higher the risk of infection or further health implications. We are desperate to get his operation done so we get home to our families before he can start his rehabilitation process to learn to walk again.

    Kieran is a 23 year old personal trainer, his life and passions revolve around the gym and his mobility being restored as soon as possible is vital for his career, physical and mental well-being. I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy my heart is broken seeing the person I love the most suffer like this. His family and I are trying our best but our efforts are falling short and we need help to get home. Any help would be so greatly appreciated, as we are feeling at a loss.
