Please help me get my ill father back to the UK

Update: 19th June 2023

So i hear back that my father can get a fit to fly certificate. But due to my Dads situation and how ill he is, he will need a medical escort to travel to the uk with him. Costs are around £400 just for this. Also i need to Cover cost of flights for doctor and my Dad and that is estimated to be above £2000, accommodation costs for doctor etc …. If more people could kindly share my fundraiser for me then that is a bonus and i thank you from the bottom of my heart, fingers crossed i can get my Dad home to the UK where he belongs.  

Hi, My name is Martine 

I am fundraising to help get my ill father Colin Marriott back to the UK, who i haven’t seen in well over 10 years now. 3 years ago before my Dad deteriorated further, i tried to raise funds to get my Dad back to the uk. With no success. I am the only sibling to my father, any help with funds will be greatly, massively appreciated. I am a mum to two young children and life is difficult with all the worries and stress on my shoulders, as well as all my health conditions to top it off. My father was born in Leicester in 1959. His life was tragically turned around when he was 49, he had a major stroke which left him the unimaginable. (As u can imagine) he is lucky to be alive, the odds were not great! My father is in iloilo in the Philippines at the moment bed ridden, sometimes hes helped into a wheel chair to go for a ride, but this is agony for him. His life out there is poor. I hadn’t heard from my dad for almost a year, alarm bells were ringing, i 

sent loads of messages and got nothing. Eventually i find out my father had a fall and broke his femur head and with the costs of surgery out there it cannot be fixed.

But now it’s all turned upside down! And enough is enough. I want to get him back to the UK somehow with peoples help, i have to sort flight cost and Emergency travel documents. I want him close by. I would love to be reunited with him after all these years. I was young when i last seen my Dad. Also i would love for him to meet his 2 and only grandchildren, aged 4 and 5. My Children have spoke about their Grandad far away, but never met him in person. I do not earn a great deal of money this is why i am reaching out, something i don’t really like to do. I found out in the Philippines my fathers passport got taken from him. With the funds i hope to get my father back to the uk, with the surgery he needs and the best care possible and an outcome anybody would want for their parents. I would like him to be close by and not the otherside of the world. Where i feel absolutely helpless. I wouldn’t wish this situation on anybody. Please Help in anyway you can, if not a donation, a share would be amazing, I appreciate peoples support. And a big thank you. 

i would also like to add that my Local MP for parliament Marcus Jones as been an amazing help. Making sure all the right people contact me and keep me upto date with my Dad urgently, and not to be ignored like before, over all the years.

I really hope my father will be back in the UK soon!

It will be my dream come true.

Thank you for reading to the end.

Martine.
