The father-of-two reportedly fell while working out at a gym early Thursday morning.
After the freak fall, he was left unable to move and couldn’t feel one side of his body.
He was rushed to the hospital and put in an induced coma as his family had to fork out £3,000 for his care.
His fiancee and kids remain by his side as they try to scrape up additional £24,000 for further treatment as they do not have travel insurance.
Fiancee Anna Ryan, 41, told BirminghamLive: “He went back to sleep and when he woke up he couldn’t stand – it looked like he’d had a stroke. We called an ambulance and he was rushed to hospital.”
The forklift operator from Birmingham planned a last-minute getaway with his family to Turkey on Wednesday.
He received a surgery on Thursday for the brain bleed but remains in a critical condition.
Anna was told to pay £24,000 for the operation with additional £1,500 a day for four weeks of recovery.
The family has since set up a GoFundMe page to help with the costs, and nearly £10,000 have been raised already.
The fundraiser organiser, Cherry Ryan, wrote: “Due to the language barrier we believed it was a success, however they were unable to remove all the mass on his brain from the brain bleed and he remains in a critical condition.”
