Jacob our son brother our hero

<div>We want to begin by saying that, like many others with a great sense of pride and the
</div>
<div>classically strong “British Resolve” that, asking for money from family, friends and strangers
</div>
<div>on a public platform is not something that's taken lightly. 
</div>
<div>If anyone reading this is facing
</div>
<div>financial difficulty or if this story doesn’t connect with you, please, at the very least share
</div>
<div>this by any means necessary. Share on social media. Talk about it at work, at the pub,
</div>
<div>anywhere.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The story is long, the details - horrific beyond belief. But we need people to understand
</div>
<div>what has happened.
</div>
<div>Please read and you will understand.

<div>Sunday 27th April 2025
</div>
<div>Luke, his wife Beth, and their two young children, 8 year old daughter and 5 year old son flew to Turkey for what
</div>
<div>should have been a family holiday. Less than a week later, only Luke and the children returned (separately).
</div>
<div>The family saw it as the perfect opportunity to enjoy a proper getaway.
</div>
<div>Sadly, things took a  sad turn.
</div>
<div>Sunday 27th April
</div>
<div>The family flew out to turkey and on arrival Beth began feeling unwell.
</div>
<div>Monday 28th April 2025
</div>
<div>During the night once they arrived Beth managed to get a little sleep but by Monday morning, she became delirious. Luke at this point had tried contacting various doctors and hospitals  but was told that no one could come out till 10am when they start, Luke eventually managed (despite the language barriers) finally got an ambulance and Beth was taken to hospital, Luke followed behind in a taxi with their two young children in tow.
</div>
<div>Beth at this point was not herself and scared, Language barriers again made everything worse. The children traumatised — watched helplessly as their mum was pinned down, poked
</div>
<div>prodded invasively by strangers. No explanations. No understanding. Luke had no choice but to trust the Doctors that they knew what they were doing and that they would take care of her. Little did they know, this would be the last time Luke ever saw his wife, and the last
</div>
<div>time the kids would ever see their mummy alive.
</div>
<div>Luke, unable to leave his children, called both grandmothers, to fly out and help.
</div>
<div>Thanks to a kind stranger Luke had befriended on the plane, this person generously made
</div>
<div>her way to the hospital and stayed with Beth so that Luke could get his children back to the
</div>
<div>hotel in an attempt to avoid further trauma. A few hours later, he was called back and instructed urgently to return and pay upfront for a scan, He returned, paid, and left again with his children.
</div>
<div>That night, Beth was moved into intensive care and her condition by now was critical. Luke was
</div>
<div>banned from seeing her. From there, no calls and no updates despite him trying to contact the hospital to see if his wife was ok, Just silence.
</div>
<div>Tuesday 29th April 2025
</div>
<div>The next day, luke and Beth’s mums arrived in Turkey and immediately went from the airport
</div>
<div>straight to the hospital, frantically searching for Beth. They battled through a destitute and
</div>
<div>worn down hospital, desperate for answers. But nothing. Eventually, Luke got a vague message: Beth had been transferred overnight, both grandparents weren’t even at the right hospital anymore and no one could even be bothered to tell them, or at the very least, contact Luke.
</div>
<div>When Beth was transferred back Luke was told Beth was moved during the night to due to “concerns with her heart” That was all we knew at the time, however, later in the story it will make sense as to why this detail is so critical.
</div>
<div>Finally, they found Beths room, but were restricted access. This is now a mother wanting to see her very sick daughter…..
</div>
<div>“You can see her in 10 minutes”
</div>
<div>“5 more minutes”.
</div>
<div>For hours this continued. Hours.
</div>
<div>Meanwhile, at the hotel — chaos had begun.
</div>
<div>Turkish police arrived at the hotel to interrogate Luke. No translator. Hotel staff acted as
</div>
<div>intermediaries. Through broken communication, Luke was made to sign a document —
</div>
<div>without knowing he later translated the statement which had read that Beth had died at around 9am, He had heard nothing from the hospital regarding this and was constantly texting/ calling his mum asking if they had been allowed to see her yet.
</div>
<div>Now, in an unforeseeable turn - he was considered by Turkish authorities a suspect in her death. Specifically, that he had poisoned her.
</div>
<div>Back at the hospital, The grandparents were given Beth’s belongings — including her
</div>
<div>wedding ring — but still weren’t allowed to see her. This was before they were even aware
</div>
<div>she “may” have passed away? Still, they were being constantly told they could see her in
</div>
<div>"5 more minutes."
</div>
<div>Finally, Beth’s mum was let in but given only a few moments before being removed again, Beth’s mum broken hearted spoke of how cold she felt, and on life support, but alive, barely!
</div>
<div>The grandparents had no choice but
</div>
<div>to go back to the hotel and do their best to comfort Luke.
</div>
<div>The doctor asked if Beth had allergies. Luke had already told the paramedics when Beth got
</div>
<div>in the ambulance that she was allergic to penicillin. And yet when told again , they were shocked to hear this information — they had no idea and had been treating her for hours at this point.
</div>
<div>That evening, the hospital called Luke. Beth had passed. This time, it really was true. Beth
</div>
<div>was gone. Very sadly only a very short time prior to this call the insurance company had contacted Luke and the hospital stating they have now found a private hospital to transfer Beth too within the next few hours that Luke had been fighting since her original admission to get her into.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Before Luke and Beth’s mum could even begin the process of mourning, after being told in a corridor that his wife/daughter has died was told to pay £2000 yet still not allowed to see her.
</div>
<div>they returned back to the hotel and within an hour the police returned telling him they will be burying her the following evening, Luke strongly refused this and told them he is taking her home, they told him to return to the hospital at 8am to be interviewed by a prosecutor .
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The children still didn’t know. Luke was reeling. Accused. Alone.
</div>
<div>Wednesday 30th April 2025
</div>
<div>Luke had no time to grieve. Police had the second interview  at 2pm after waiting hours for them — this time in the
</div>
<div>back of a van in a hospital car park. The Chief Investigator sat at a desk bolted into the
</div>
<div>vehicle. Surrounding them, police officers armed with guns.
</div>
<div>Luke was grilled, accused and broken beyond repair. It seemed that the police, could now
</div>
<div>see at least, that Luke was just a grieving husband. They finally cleared him. No further
</div>
<div>action.
</div>
<div>After cooperating fully, he begged — sobbing — to see his wife. He was allowed into the
</div>
<div>morgue to see her. For one minute. No more. The staff over his shoulder made sure of that.
</div>
<div>Being wrongfully accused in a foreign country of murdering someone you love so dearly is
</div>
<div>life-altering. Beths mum was allowed to see her but were under strict
</div>
<div>instructions to wash her hands, not touch her and not even kiss her. Yet again, staff were over her shoulder, she couldn’t even embrace her dead daughters body.
</div>
<div>What followed next, even more horrifying. They were then instructed to carry Beth’s body.
</div>
<div>In a zipped body bag. They had to take a corner of the bag each and shift her corpse.
</div>
<div>It is uncomprehendable to believe that the mother, husband and best friend of this 28 year
</div>
<div>old young woman, were told to take her body bag through a hospital. The fourth corner of
</div>
<div>the bag – carried by the translator.
</div>
<div>They approached an elevator with her body. As they waited, the translator had the audacity
</div>
<div>to tap away at her body bag. Like it was luggage. Like it was the briefcase of a businessman
</div>
<div>who’s late for a meeting. No compassion. No humanity.
</div>
<div>But this was not the end to the trauma and heartache. Far from it.
</div>
<div>Friday 2nd May 2025
</div>
<div>After the battling and support of other family members back home, they managed to
</div>
<div>arrange for the travel insurance to bring Beth home — however, informed that this could
</div>
<div>take up to two weeks or longer.
</div>
<div>Luke refused. He paid thousands — on top of what he had already paid for scans, taxis,
</div>
<div>hospital fees, translators hotels, repatriation arrangements, transcribing documents, notaries the list goes on — and arranged for her body to fly home himself.
</div>
<div>Saturday 3rd May 2025
</div>
<div>Luke finally had to do what no parent should ever do. He told the children 
</div>
<div>mummy was gone. Dead. Surrounded by grief. He watched the light drain from their eyes. That
</div>
<div>pain is permanent. He held them and they cried together, but not as a family. Because a
</div>
<div>crucial member of that family was gone.
</div>
<div>Sunday 4th &amp; Tuesday 6th May 2025
</div>
<div>The children and family flew home on the Sunday Luke stayed a few days more to fly home
</div>
<div>beside his wife. On Tuesday, they landed together Back Home
</div>
<div>In the weeks since bringing Beth home the family is battered and bruised. Everyone is a
</div>
<div>shell of themselves and no one knows how to even begin to recover from something so
</div>
<div>horrific.. yet still — it gets worse.
</div>
<div>The UK autopsy began. And then the final blow:
</div>
<div>Beth’s heart was missing.
</div>
<div>The Turkish hospital has removed it. No explanation. No consent. They have invaded her
</div>
<div>body and they have TAKEN her heart.
</div>
<div>Her heart. The piece of Beth that was more treasured more than any other. The piece of her
</div>
<div>that stopped for a moment when she heard her children's first words. The piece of her that
</div>
<div>skipped a beat when she said 'I do' at her wedding. The piece of her that pumped viscously with pride whenever she was with her family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>And this is why we are fighting back.
</div>
<div>Luke has spent thousands. He’s self-employed, meaning that if he’s not back to work in a
</div>
<div>matter of days, he won’t be able to support his family. They are grieving, traumatised — and
</div>
<div>now trying to put the pieces of their family back together.
</div>
<div>After everything the family have been through - Luke believes passionately that this is
</div>
<div>something that cannot be taken lying down.
</div>
<div>That is why we write this story. That is why we expose the deepest level of trauma we have
</div>
<div>ever experienced as a family. 
</div>
<div>With excruciating detail, we are exposing our pain in sharing this and asking for help and hopefully bring ALL OF HER  home.
</div>
<div>Please donate. Or share. Or both. Anything to help them rebuild towards the extortionate medical bills that were not covered by insurance and the living costs that Luke and the children now face.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Beth’s death is now being investigated as a potential negligence by the hospital.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please can we just thank everyone for taking the time to read this and any help you can offer is not too little.

<div>Hi everyone,

</div>

<div> We’re raising funds for our amazing 3 year old boy Logan, who lives with quadriplegic cerebral palsy caused by a rare genetic multi-system disorder called Gould syndrome (COL4A1)  he also has epilepsy, <span>is non verbal and fed through a peg. </span>
</div>
<div>He is a bright, happy little boy with a big beautiful smile and an even bigger determination to explore the world around him. Every body that meets Logan comments on his beautiful smile and contagious laugh.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Because of his condition standing and building strength is a huge challenge. We have been researching ways to improve his quality of life and started Logan at private physio where we have been using a Galileo therapy machine. Which is used widely in America for over 25 years and can make a life-changing difference for him.

</div>

<div>This specialist equipment helps children with cerebral palsy improve muscle strength, balance and coordination, bone density and supports them in learning to stand and move more independently. 

</div>
<div><br />
</div>

<div>Logan has spasticity which can cause his whole body to stiffen causing him pain and discomfort he takes medication daily for this, however using this machine on his very first session we noticed a huge difference in how loose his body was for days afterwards which is a huge relief for us as a family as we’re always looking for ways to make Logan more comfortable.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We have been advised that Logan would benefit greatly from having the machine at home to use on a daily basis.

</div>

<div>Unfortunately the cost of the Galileo machine is £5000, which is more than we can manage alone, as well as the cost of ongoing private physiotherapy sessions. 

</div>

<div>Every donation big or small will go greatly towards giving Logan the chance to build strength, gain confidence and reach milestones that many of us take for granted.

</div>

<div>Even sharing this page and taking the time to read means the world to us..

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Thank you so much for your kindness, support and belief in Logan.

</div>
<div><br />
</div>

Help Logan Stand Strong
