A couple who feared they might have to sell their home to get their newborn back from Turkey have been saved - after a charity agreed to foot the bill. Louise Crawshaw-Bowen, 37, and husband Stephen, 27, were stranded in Antalya after little Wolfe was born seven-and-a-half weeks early.
The newlyweds say they have insurance, but claim they were told it was only valid if a baby was delivered more than eight weeks premature. This left them facing bills of more than £51,000 to get a medical flight home, they say - and potentially higher costs if they stayed put.
But the couple announced last night that their pleas have been met by the Royal British Legion, who have agreed to help with the costs. Nail technician Louise and Stephen, who is in the British Army, have already raised more than £9,000 via a GoFundMe page.
