A 56-year-old mother, Tracey Ellis, of 4 from Newcastle upon Tyne, is in a coma in a Spanish hospital after falling ill on holiday. She was lonely in Tenerife when she started experiencing powerful stomach aches and was diagnosed with acute pancreatitis. Despite being migrated to a private hospital, her condition worsened more and more, and she was placed on life-support.
Her family was not aware of her hospitalization until she contacted them herself on June 24, and they have since been struggling to cope with the large outstanding treatment bill, which her travel insurance did not cover. The hospital scheduled a £5,000 payment, and later an additional £10,000 deposit, which the family couldn’t pay, leading to her move to a state hospital.
The family has arranged a GoFundMe page to increase funds for her medical expenses, which have now risen to £30,000. They are also trying to arrange transport to bring her back to the UK if her condition improves. Tracey’s children, Connor, Curtis, Grant, and Amy, are by her side and are prepared to get her the care she needs.
