The relatives of Ganesh Persaud Ramdatt who was badly injured in a Tortola car accident this month are asking the public for financial assistance for him to receive much needed medical care in Florida, United States.
The 33-year-old Guyanese, his two brothers, sister-in-law and her brother was involved in a serious car accident on Sunday, July 9, in Sea Cows Bay on Tortola.
He suffered a broken neck – C5 fracture, dislocation and traumatic spondylolisthesis.

“The cost of the REVA Air Ambulance is $32,000.00. NHI (the Local Health Insurance) will cover $16,000.00 therefore he is (in) need of $14,000.00 for the medical evacuation,” the GoFundMe page shared, while asking the public to make a donation.
