Helpless mum stranded in Turkey receives £7,500 in donations to get home

A mother from Birkenhead who was severely injured after her safari buggy ''flew off a cliff' has been shown an "overwhelming amount" of support online from the community. Rebekka Kelly was left with a multitude of injuries when she was involved in a safari buggy crash while on holiday in Antalya, Turkey on September 2.

She was left with a fractured pelvis, seven fractured vertebrae, internal bleeding and permanent nerve damage in her lower back. Rebekka was rushed to hospital where she underwent two critical operations in order to drain her internal wounds and place metal plates into her spine, the Liverpool Echo reports.

However, this was only the start of the nightmare holiday after Rebekka found herself stranded in Turkey when the medical attention she received due to the accident came to a total of £50,000. The mum of two is not confident that her hefty hospital bills will be covered in the insurance package she purchased from TUI for her holiday.
