Bruce Brown, a grandfather from Wales, is receiving treatment in a Greek hospital after an ear infection led to a coma. He was visiting Greece on a day trip from his home in Turkey.
Family members stated that Bruce remains in intensive care and that his Turkish health insurance will not cover his treatment since he fell ill in Greece.
The family is attempting to raise £20,000 to cover hospital care, medication, and an air ambulance for further treatment. They are seeking financial support to cover the costs of his medical needs.
Bruce’s granddaughter, Emmie String, launched an online fundraiser after the family was faced with paying the mounting medical costs themselves. She described the situation as a devastating reality for the family.
Relatives are also reaching out to businesses in North Wales for prizes, vouchers, and services to aid in the fundraising effort. They hope to secure additional support for Bruce’s care.
