Olivia North, a 21-year-old student from the UK, experienced a devastating brain injury in a scooter accident in Goa, India, on May 5. She developed a subdural haematoma and a 3.6mm bleed on her brain, leading to a complete loss of her memory. Her father, Nic North, rushed to her side and discovered the extent of her injuries, which primarily affected her left temporal lobe, crucial for memory storage. Despite her gradual improvement, she is unable to recall significant aspects of her life, including her late pet dog. Nic has initiated a GoFundMe campaign to cover mounting medical costs, which he estimates could total around £12,000. Olivia is currently receiving treatment at Vision Hospital in Mapusa but cannot return to the UK until her condition stabilizes. Nic plans to provide her with full-time care upon her return, potentially impacting his employment.
