An appeal has been set up for an Irish woman in intensive care in China

Tony Cuddihy

Lydia Daly-Shorten is in an intensive care unit in China after a serious accident in the early hours of Saturday morning.

Lydia, who left Ireland for China in February of this year, had been working as an English language teacher in Guangdong before the accident.

A GoFundMe page has been set up to help get her family to her while she recovers, and to pay for her hospital costs.

The post reads…

As some of you may already know, in the early hours of July 30th our friend Lydia suffered a serious accident that has left her hospitalized in Guangdong China.

We are thankful that she is currently stable and recovering, but are of course desperately worried for her. Lydia left for China on February 9th of this year, and has been working as an English language teacher in Guangdong for the past 6 months.

This fund donates it’s proceedings to Lydia and her family. Separated by such a vast distance, we cannot help but feel helpless when the unimaginable happens to someone we dearly value and love.

We kindly ask that you please consider donating whatever you can to help Lydia and her family in this moment of great distress.

Help spread the word!
