A British woman’s family has spoken out after she was rushed to a Spanish hospital in a life-threatening condition.

Poppy-mae Crutchley was in the middle of a fun trip with her friends when her health took a shocking turn for the worse.

Poppy’s family have said she is now in a Spanish hospital and her dad, Simon Crutchley, shared a photo of his daughter hooked up to machines in hospital - saying she is ‘fighting for her life’.

The 29-year-old, from Worcester, UK, was on her first girls holiday for a friend’s hen do when things started to go wrong.

His family believes a tattoo she got out there may have been the cause of her issues, as health experts in the country believe she has suffered multiple organ failure.

A GoFundMe has been set up to help support Poppy and her family as they deal with the increasing costs of trying to get their daughter the best care and bring her back home to the UK, if possible.

In a post on the donation page, her father wrote: “All I can put it down to is a tattoo she had on her wrist two days before this picture.

“Now she’s 29 but she’s still my little girl. I don’t believe in religion but if there’s a God up there then I beg you to send my baby a little help to pull through this because I need her.

“She’s too young and fantastic to be taken yet.”

Poppy initially became ill on June 29, only a few days into the trip, and was taken to a hospital in Benidorm before being moved to a more specialist center.

Her friend, who set up the GoFundMe page, said that in the first few days Poppy was perfectly fine, and explained how the situation unfolded.

She wrote: “She went away on her first girls’ holiday for a friend’s hen do. On the first day Poppy enjoyed herself with friends, a couple of drinks and even had a tattoo.

“Instantly after the tattoo, Poppy felt unwell, that unwell that she had taken herself to the hospital where instantly and amazingly they acted straight away due to no oxygen in her body and fluid on her heart.

“‘Poppy was transferred to another hospital in Spain last night that specialises in what she needs.

“As it stands currently, they are unsure at this moment in time if it is a bacterial infection (from the tattoo maybe?) or if she has been spiked.

“We all have faith in getting her back to her normal bubbly beautiful self, and with your help we can give her the best chance possible.”
