Gavin Arulnayagam, a 24-year-old Brit, is in intensive care in the Philippines on a ventilator after developing Guillain-Barré syndrome.
Doctors say there is no immediate cure and that Gavin must stay in hospital so his muscles can regain strength over time.
The family faces total medical costs potentially reaching £200,000–£300,000 for repatriation and treatment.
Friends have organised a GoFundMe page to help cover the medical bills while Gavin remains in the Philippines.
Gavin’s friend Salvador Sanchez visited him in November and described the scene as horrible and heartbreaking.
Gavin required a tracheostomy to aid breathing during his treatment in the Philippines.
Gavin’s condition was likely triggered by an immune response to an infection contracted abroad.
Gavin’s family and girlfriend are caring for him around the clock, often in shifts due to ICU staffing limits.
The Mirror reports that Gavin had been traveling Asia for 18 months prior to illness and had no travel insurance at the time.
