The mother of a British motorcyclist critically injured in a crash in Thailand has pleaded for donations to bring her son home "before it's too late".
Tiger Duggan, 23, is on a life-support machine in a Bangkok hospital after he was hit by an oncoming vehicle while out riding last Sunday.
Tiger, originally from Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, had been travelling with a friend after setting out for Thailand on 16 January.
Following the crash, he was initially feared dead but was resuscitated at the scene and taken to a medical unit on Koh Samui island before being transported to Bangkok, The Mail on Sunday reports.
Tiger's family hope he will soon be stable enough to be flown back to the UK or his new home in Western Australia.
A GoFundMe page has been set up by a group of nurses who are colleagues of his mother Lisa, which has so far raised over £150,000 for the trip.
In an update from her son's bedside, Lisa broke down in tears as she implored viewers to donate "before it's too late", and said Tiger's father and younger brother River, 21, were soon set to join her in Bangkok.
She wept as she spoke of how much River "looks up to his big brother", adding: "It broke my heart, my two boys."
"I am begging you please help us, help us get this boy home, whichever way that may look. Please reach deep into your pockets. Every penny counts," said Lisa.
Looking at her son in his bed, she said: "We are rooting for you mate. We really are. Please help."
In a previous update on the donations page, the family said Tiger took out medical insurance but they were still trying to navigate through the process.
They stated: "Although Tiger does have travel insurance, we have been informed that the process is lengthy and approvals can take time. Unfortunately, he cannot afford to wait, and this emergency transfer must happen immediately to give him the best possible chance."
Tiger moved from Milton Keynes to Perth, Western Australia, two years ago as part of a "dream job" working for gold mining firm Westgold Resources.
His family are being supported by Milton Keynes Central Labour MP Emily Darlington, who stated: "I am shocked and saddened to hear about the devastating accident involving Tiger, a young man from our community who is now fighting for his life in Thailand."
Writing on the GoFundMe page, Lisa's nursing colleagues added: "Lisa is not just a colleague to us, she is a compassionate, dedicated nurse and a deeply caring person who gives so much of herself to others every single day. Now, her family needs that same care and kindness returned to them.
"Any donation, no matter how small, will make a difference. If you're unable to donate, please consider sharing this page. Your kindness, love, and support mean more than we can put into words."
