    Story

    This family went on their first-ever holiday abroad with their four children for a week last Monday. On Tuesday, tragedy struck when their oldest child, a fifteen-year-old girl, fell off the hotel balcony. She sustained severe head and other injuries and after being stabilised, was taken by ambulance to Son Espases Hospital, Palma, where she is expected to remain for eight weeks until she is well enough to be flown back to the U.K.

    At present, she is critical, on life support and in an induced coma. She has had two brain surgeries and will need two more, spinal surgery and other surgery. Once back in the U.K, she will need further medical intervention.

    The girl’s parents desperately need accessible accommodation to commute to the hospital. As you can imagine, this is somewhere the family has never travelled to before; everything is new and confusing, and there is tremendous worry about their daughter.

    The language barrier makes the simplest of things difficult, especially as all their time and thoughts are currently with their daughter. They also have limited finances. This was their first family holiday abroad; they saved a long time. However, they don't have any additional funds, and they were only supposed to be away for one week. Unfortunately, the family did not take out any holiday insurance due to being new to foreign travel.

    This young lady is loved by so many; she’s always smiling and fun and is a brilliant horse rider with her whole life ahead of her.

    Any donations that you can spare will be greatly appreciated and put to good use.

      Milly has now been allowed to return to her family home to continue with her rehabilitation until her next operation. It will take quite a while and lots of hard work from Milly for her life to return to how it was before, but she’s in the best possible place, surrounded by those who love her and with lots of support and encouragement. The family would like to express their heartfelt gratitude for all the love and support they have received during this profoundly challenging time in their lives, and your kindness has been a beacon of hope.

      I’m pleased to update you with positive news! Milly’s flight home from Palma went well. Once she was back in the U.K., she was admitted to Southampton Hospital, where she was given a full assessment; it was decided that she would not need an operation on her neck. They have been able to remove the staples, but she will continue to wear a neck brace for the moment. Milly is now only waiting for an operation on her skull for the foreseeable future, and she has started her rehabilitation programme.
