Your support makes all the difference.A man has offered a free six-month trip to the Caribbean to someone who can help his girlfriend with rehabilitation after she fractured her hip.
On a post on Facebook, Jeremie Tronet, 29, who runs a kite surfing centre on Union Island in the Grenadines, appealed for a physiotherapist and their plus one to fly out to treat his girlfriend.
Mr Thronet said he will cover the cost of flights, accommodation and food, and also provide kite-surfing lessons and excursions to local islands.
Zoe Schaffer-Jennett, 27, who worked as a kite surfing instructor, fell three metres into a concrete ditch and fractured her femur.
She was moved to Martinique Island for surgery, where three screws were inserted to reattach the femoral head during a four-hour long operation.
Ms Schaffer-Jennett will need daily help from a physiotherapist to learn to walk again after the operation. Her recovery could take between five to six months.
The couple are appealing for a physical therapist, orthopaedic surgeon or someone who works in a rehabilitation centre to help them. To apply for the job, email zoesurgery@gmail.com.
