Hi my name is Jamie Noriega
My mum (Angela) has been type 2 diabetic for 20 + years.
While she was on a girls holiday in benidorm last week she fell in to a diabetic coma and is currently in hospital marina biaxa in villajoyosa Spain.
This came as a complete shock to all her family and friends, her partner and myself rushed out to be by her side as soon as was humanly possible.
When she took her travel insurance out she did declared her medical conditions, but the insurance company have said she chose not to cover these and are not liable.
The phone conversation she had with the advisor on the day she booked the insurance has been currupted.
We are trying to fight this with the ombustman but that will take time and that is something that we do not have at this moment.
In the mean time she is still in a coma and we are getting quotes of between 18,000 and 25,000 to fly her back to a ICU unit in the UK.
We have been in touch with our local media (the sheffield star and bbc radio sheffield) to help us.
But we still have a long way to go to final be able to bring her back to her friends, family and most importantly her 2 grandchildren (4yrs and 2yrs) who know there is something wrong but are not fully aware of the situation
This is the fundraising campaign for Get Angela Home : https://de.gofund.me/7d67q88k
also here is our local papers link that they ran on the front page for us yesterday. (14/10/15)
