Our names are Summer and Amelia and we are trying to raise funds for our 18-year-old cousin Jessica Bang who has suffered a devastating brain haemorrhage while preparing for a golf tournament in Bangkok, Thailand.

Jessica is an aspiring athlete who has recently qualified to start her rookie season in the WPGA/KLPGA. She has won the Ford NSW Regional Championship which was held in Moss Vale NSW Australia in February 2026 and has shown a promising future in golf and has earnt the nickname ‘Rookie Bang’.

On the 1st of August 2026 Jessica suddenly collapsed and was transported to Synphat Ramintra Hospital in Bangkok where she underwent emergency brain surgery. She is currently on life support in the ICU and we are trying to raise funds to transport her back home. Her family is wanting to take her back home to be surrounded by her loved ones and community as she navigates recovery.

Every donation made will be contributed to her overwhelming medical bills and repatriation back home which will need to be on a special plane with built in ICU equipment. Most of all, we ask that you keep Jessica and her family in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you for your generosity and support!
