Hello and welcome to Our Liverpool.
The mum and sister of a man who crashed his motorbike into the front of a shop in Thailand sold their own valuables to pay for last-minute plane tickets to get to him. Liam Kilby, 25, was on holiday with friends and had to be resuscitated by paramedics as he was rushed to hospital.
He spent seven days fighting for his life, and though he has made some recovery he still can't speak or leave his hospital bed. His family face an eye-watering £18,000 medical bill after the incident.
