UPDATE:

Firstly, thank you so much to everyone who has donated, shared the fundraiser, sent messages, and supported Ian and Lucy over the last few days. The kindness people have shown has honestly been overwhelming.

The good news is that Lucy is now out of intensive care and is doing well. We are all incredibly relieved and grateful for the care she has received.

Unfortunately, things have now become very complicated with the insurance company. Ian and Lucy genuinely believed that everything had been declared correctly when taking out their policy, but a doctor has identified a medical issue that Lucy herself was unaware of, and this may now affect the insurance payout.

The hospital is ready to discharge Lucy, but at the moment they are effectively stuck in Turkey while everything is being sorted out, and the costs involved in treatment and getting them safely home are continuing to grow.

Because of this, I have had to increase the fundraising target to £10,000.

I know times are hard for many people, but if anyone is able to donate or continue sharing the fundraiser, it would mean the world to our family. Right now, we just want to get Ian and Lucy safely home.

Thank you again for all your kindness and support ❤️

Hi, I’m Sue, and I’m fundraising for my son Ian and his wife Lucy.

Ian and Lucy were meant to be enjoying their honeymoon in Turkey, having only recently been married, when their trip took a sudden and frightening turn. Lucy was rushed to hospital with serious breathing difficulties and is currently receiving treatment in intensive care.

Ian is there on his own, navigating a very stressful situation in a foreign country, dealing with language barriers and trying to make sure Lucy gets the care she needs.

While they do have travel insurance, there is understandable concern about whether it will cover the full cost of Lucy’s treatment and any additional expenses that may arise.

I’m setting this up to help ease some of that financial pressure, so Ian can focus on being there for Lucy without the added worry of mounting costs.

Any support, no matter how small, would mean the world to them. And if you’re not able to donate, simply sharing this would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your kindness and support at such a difficult time.
