A fundraiser has already received over 1,000 donations from members of the public and over €25,000.

It's organiser explained:" Many parents & friends know the pain, heartache and helplessness Marianne and Joe must be feeling at this time.

"We are looking for support for Marianne and Joe to be with Rebekah at her time of need in Greece - however long that may be. If we can support them financially that would be one burden off their mind.

"Any donations no matter how big or small to help with Rebekah’s recovery"
