Heartbreaking news from Tenerife as Welsh mum Jade Bird, 33, is fighting for her life after falling seriously ill at the airport with what turned into meningitis. Jade was enjoying a getaway but ended up in an induced coma after complaining of severe headaches and earaches just as she was about to head home.
Her family, desperate to bring her back to the UK, are facing the enormous cost of £50,000 for a medical evacuation. Her sister-in-law Victoria Bird and mum Janine have flown out to be by her side but are struggling with the language barrier and the financial burden.
A GoFundMe page has been launched to support Jade, who works as a carer for vulnerable adults, and her family. They’ve already managed to raise over £7,500, but they’re still far from the target.
Victoria is heartbroken at being away from home and fears the moment they must face Jade’s 6-year-old daughter, Skyla, with the reality that her mum is critically unwell and miles away. They are pleading for help to bring Jade home, highlighting her as a loving, kind-hearted mum who’s always there for others.
The family is reaching out to the community for support during this unimaginable time. Every little helps, and if you’re able to contribute or share Jade’s story, they would be eternally grateful. Let’s rally together and help bring this devoted mum back home to her little girl. Skyla needs her mum, and Jade deserves to be surrounded by loved ones during this critical time. ❤️
