Carl and Nikki's dream holiday is now a nightmare, after Carl's stroke on the first morning. Please help, as insurance won't cover costs.
Nationwide
What began as Carl and Nikki's dream holiday in Vietnam has turned into a heartbreaking journey they could never have imagined. Carl suffered a stroke on their first morning in Hanoi, and their world changed in an instant.
Instead of making special memories together, they have found themselves navigating hospitals, doctors, and uncertainty in a country far from home. To make things harder, their travel insurance has been declined so far, leaving them to face the enormous medical bills on their own.
The cost of urgent treatment, hospital stays, and ongoing care is far beyond what they can manage alone. Every day brings new expenses, and it is overwhelming to think about the financial burden on top of everything else they are already facing.
How Can You Support Us?
I am reaching out with a hopeful heart and humbly asking for help. Your kindness, whether through a donation or by simply sharing their story, will make a real difference in helping them cover medical expenses and focus on what matters most – Carl's recovery and getting him safely home.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your compassion and support.
I am a relative of a close friend currently living in Hanoi. I’ve been deeply moved by their tragic situation and want to do what I can to help support them during this difficult time.
Funds will go towards urgent medical expenses in Vietnam, changes to airfares, extra accommodation and expenses while their stay is extended for further treatment, and helping them manage the loss of income during this difficult time.
