A mother is in a coma in Tenerife after contracting meningitis, leaving her family with a £50,000 bill to bring her back home to Abergele, North Wales. Jade Bird, 33, fell ill at the airport while waiting for her flight, with scans revealing a brain infection that led to her critical condition. Her family, including sister-in-law Victoria Bird and mother Janine, are anxiously waiting for updates at her hospital bedside in Tenerife.
Desperate to bring Jade home, the family initiated a GoFundMe campaign to raise £50,000 for a medical evacuation. So far, they have collected over £8,400 towards their goal. Victoria expressed gratitude for any support, emphasizing the urgency of reuniting Jade with her loved ones. Jade, a single mother to a six-year-old daughter named Skyla, is cherished for her kind-hearted nature and motherly love. The family is torn between financial constraints and the emotional distress of being separated from Jade during her health crisis.
