Heidi Albertiri
Hi everyone,
As you know were in Bali.
We have met some lovely people and a new friend of ours here is a nurse doing some volunteer work.
Hi guys, we are still here in Bali... We leave Saturday.
Whilst we have been here we have met some amazing people. One in particular is a nurse from Melbourne doing some volunteer work.
She is taking care of a young man in his 30's that fell off his bamboo ladder some 50 meters up because he was cutting leaves down to sell to make money. He and his wife had just become parents for the second time and there baby is 4 days old.
He is now a quadriplegic with 2 children and a wife and no means of income.
Yesterday he was admitted to hospital because he has a bedsore bigger than my fist on his backside and it became infected, in Bali, can you imagine...?
His concern as he was being carried by 6 men up a cliff side to be taken to hospital was that he couldn't go because he can't pay the bill.
It's $70 a day and he is lucky to earn that in a month.
So. Here it is, my Liz Gilbert eat, pray love moment...
I need your help.
I'm sending this out in hope we can collect some money not only to help with the hospital bills but also for the family to buy food and basic supplies to stay alive and keep there little house.
I'm asking you guys to donate even as little as $10, that's a coffee and muffin .. If we all do it we can actually make a difference ...
As they say, every little bit helps...
We are leaving here Saturday so I would love to be able to hand over the cash before I go.
My bank details are here...
Bsb 012235 574812286 Please put// wayan Bali donation in the details...
This is not for my holiday fund!!
Thank you in advance,
Love love love.
