Lukes family and friends are now desperately trying to raise hundreds of pounds to pay for tickets to get Luke, Ruth and Davids mother Elizabeth home.
Mrs Williams said: We are hoping to raise anything we can. We dont know when Luke and family are able to travel but we are raising money for the return flights.
Donations can be handed into the Spar Shop in Whittington.
