Family of ill teen needs help to get her home

“This has been an emotional rollercoaster and I just want my little girl back home to England.

“We are so thankful for the kindness of everyone who has donated to help provide an air ambulance to bring Shanna home, this is the safest way for Shanna to travel back to UK with medical staff and machines on board.

“Please if you can, help us to fund Shanna’s return so she can receive the specialist treatment she requires.”

Halifax haulage company Collett Transport, who launched the fundraiser, posted: “Shanna is currently at Nicosia’s General Hospital and is being evaluated on daily basis from neurologists and neurosurgeons but it’s essential she return to the UK as soon as possible.

“The provision of this medical evacuation will allow Shanna to return to the UK and receive the specialist treatment required to aid her recovery.

“Everyone at Collett is shocked and concerned for Shanna and her family and with your help we would like to do all we can to help Shanna return home.

“We would greatly appreciate any donations you could give towards Shanna’s medical evacuation and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support.”

So far £1,950 of £30,000 has been raised.
