The Clarkson resident has undergone brain surgery and is now in a coma.
A GoFundMe has been launched to help his heartbroken family who are struggling to cover hospital bills and the cost of bringing him home.
“Unfortunately Shane had no travel insurance and we are hoping to raise as much as we can to help cover the hospital costs and to bring Shane home,” the fundraiser organiser Amyleigh Mitchell said.
“Surgery alone cost $53 000. Every night in the hospital is an additional $9000. The flight to bring him home is going to cost a minimum of $150,000.
“We just want to bring Shane home as soon as possible to be closer to all his friends and family!”
The GoFundMe has a target of $750,000 and has so far raised more than $26,000.
