Help Ray to stay at Sue's side while at ICU in Spain

Hi my name is Kris and I'm trying to raise funds for my father so he can cover his costs to remain in Spain while his wife Sue is getting treatment at the ICU.

She has been in an induced coma for almost 3 weeks and fighting a lung infection which surfaced last week.

At this time, she is not expected to be given the all clear to travel home till the beginning of October at the earliest.

Sue suffered serious head and lower back injuries from a fall after passing out from suspected heat stroke in the bathroom at the hotel.

This was just days into their holiday at the end of August. My dad had taken a travel insurance policy, but they have refused to payout for medical and other costs because they consider the cause of Sue's fall the result of an ongoing medical condition - regardless of the fact her last accident from fainting was over a year ago and related to a close family members death.

Fortunately the British consulate has arranged to get medical costs for Sue covered through the nhs but this doesnt cover the costs for my father to remain over there for the duration of Sues treatment.

Those costs being accommodation, travel to and from the hospital and food.

Sofar he has had to move hotel twice costing about 1000 euros per week and it has been costing approx 60 euros per visit to the hospital.

He has found a hotel nearer to the hospital, within walking distance but the cost still exceeds 1000 euros per week.

My father is a pensioner with limited funds, and will have gone through his small savings pot by the end of next week. As a family we have helped with money as much as we can but we need more help to enable him to stay with Sue for her treatment.

Anything you can donate will be greatly appreciated.

UPDATE 18TH SEPT

Sue has been in an induced coma for a little over three weeks now.

She has had to fight off a lung infection but the doctors have told my dad that her kidneys are failing.

The doctors are trying to gradually reduce her sedation, but this is causing a drop in her blood pressure so it will be a slow process.

In the coming days they have advised that they will perform a tracheostomy due to her time on a ventilator.
