  "account": "A British family is seeking donations to aid in the return of their 17-year-old son, Jamie, from Benidorm after he sustained life-threatening injuries in a balcony fall at the Sol Pelicanos Ocas hotel on November 10. Jamie, who was on holiday with his mother, Gemma, and her friends, suffered severe injuries including extensive chest fractures, a punctured lung, a ruptured artery, broken pelvis, both legs and one arm. He remains in intensive care in Alicante, heavily sedated, with doctors uncertain of his ability to walk or speak. Jamie's aunt, Lauren Baker, has launched a £20,000 GoFundMe campaign to cover expenses not covered by insurance or charitable aid, such as accommodation, travel and the return journey home. Jamie's father, Kev, traveled from Dover upon receiving the news and spent a night sleeping in the hospital waiting room to be near his son. The family is receiving assistance from Lia’s Wings, a UK charity specializing in medical transfers for critically ill infants and children.",
