Boycie Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Lastest update from gofundme page I have been advised by many people that there will be some of us in this world who will never have any shred of humanity or decency and will feel the need to comment. This is not helpful however everyone is entitled to an opinion. Thank you again to everyone who has helped so far, and just to be clear, Rebekah is in Thailand on a non visitor visa therefore not considered a tourist with regard to insurance as she was due to start work this week. She only has insurance for travelling. Thanks James. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post up-country_sinclair Posted April 10, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 10, 2019 Her Instagram handle is "We Live and Die". Her profile includes this line: "Better a cruel truth than a comfortable delusion". There are a number of things that could be commented on about the above, but as she's in hospital, I think it's best to just leave it be. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, all concern for her, but what makes anyone think they can travel without health insurance>> Unless the claim has been rejected because she got a tattoo or something else of contributing factors and that caused the infection *own negligence) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post twocatsmac Posted April 10, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 10, 2019 Daddy’s “little girl” lol. I hope she gets home ok but her illness comes at a time of constant begging appeals. They raised 4 grand already, pity they didn’t raise it beforehand and insure her. I had a girlfriend with implants similar to those and if done on the cheap, infections are inevitable. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a pensioner decides to live where they can’t get cover then that’s their option and not a chance many are prepared to risk.

Popular Post smedly Posted April 10, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 10, 2019 looks like she's been chilling out in SEA for several years - living the dream but it has caught up with her, who knows what the illness is - it could be Dengue Malaria or any manner of things I would like to know exactly what it is, seems she only went to hospital after her father arrived which is very strange indeed 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect not This girl is a tourist - she is not an expat - she was not living here - she was on holiday Check out here social media, she has been in Thailand for years, so not a tourist.
