Brave four-year old girl Marigold Jessie fights for life after falling from Bali treehouse
A brave four-year old girl from Adelaide is fighting for life in hospital after a horror accident in Bali.
Marigold Jessie, 4, was on a family holiday when she fell from a treehouse at their Bali villa fracturing her skull and causing bleeding on the brain.
The young girl was rushed to hospital and underwent emergency surgery in Bali to alleviate pressure from her brain, before she was flown back to Adelaide.

Her aunty Sophie McInnerney said her niece was taken to the Women’s and Children’s Hospital in Adelaide where she has remained in intensive care.
“Goldie isn’t a stranger to hospitals … it’s where she spent the first 100 days of her life after she was born at just 25 weeks,” Ms McInnerney said.
“Goldie has an incredible fighting (and feisty) spirit and is the bravest little soul we know, but she has a long road ahead to recovery.
“Lucky for Goldie, she has the most doting and dedicated parents in Nick and Carly who will be there holding her hand the whole way.”
Ms McInnerney set up a GoFundMe page for Marigold’s family as the experience continued to take its toll on the family, which has raised more than $59,000 in two days.
“They are going to need a lot of love and support to get through this,” she said.
