Thousands of pounds have been raised in the hope to help the family of a Newcastle fan in an induced coma after an accident.
On the 18th of August, Kane Maughan fell from a third story building in Ibiza and is fighting for his life. His family are trying to bring him back to the UK, and need help with the air ambulance costs.
He remains unconscious in critical condition and requires an air ambulance to fly back to the UK for further treatment, costing around £30,000.
The total is flying up fast, with it sitting at over £27,000 from 1,600 supporters at the time of writing.
Any donations are much appreciated to aid his recovery. You can go on to the JustGiving page HERE or on the link within the tweet below…

Aaron Maxwell posted via Facebook: “Hello everyone, 2 and a half weeks ago me the lads went on a trip to Ibiza.
“What we thought was going to be some fun in the sun quickly turned into a nightmare as our best mate Kane Maughan fell out of a third floor window and has been in an induced coma ever since.
“He’s fighting like hell and showing some signs of improvement but he is still in critical condition.
“Thankfully his medical bills are covered but the air ambulance is not.
“It would much appreciated if you could spare a couple of quid to the just giving to help Kane’s family afford the air ambulance.
“Kanes family flew out the day after it happened and have been there ever since which is also coming at a greater cost to them. Even if you can not afford to put money in, it would still be of massive help to share this post. Cheers. Keep fighting workid ❤️”
A JustGiving page, organised by Calum Watson, read: “After falling from a third story building in Ibiza on the 18th of August, Kane has suffered life threatening injuries including damage to his lungs and has been fighting sepsis and pneumonia during his recovery.
“He is currently fighting for his life and still remains in critical condition.
“He is yet to wake up and we need to fly him home where he can receive the rest of his treatment and hopefully make a full recovery. This means an air ambulance is needed at a cost of around £30,000.
“Any donation towards getting Kane back to the uk, no matter the amount, will massively help and will be greatly appreciated. Please share with others to give Kane the best possible chance.
“Thank you from the bottom of our hearts ❤️”
