The family of a 36-year old Australian woman who received horrific injuries in an unknown incident on a Bali island are desperately trying to bring her home to receive urgent medical care.

Rebecca Ode moved to Bali in January to reground after losing her father to suicide about two years ago.

Her brother-in-law Jesse Wilton said it was the best move for Ms Ode, with the family seeing the best version of her after the tragic loss.

But earlier this week the family received devastating news.

About 6am on Tuesday, Mr Wilton received a message that Ms Ode had been seriously injured in an accident.

“She was found in Nusa Lembongan, but no one knows how the accident happened,” he told NewsWire.

“No one know if it was a motorbike, no one knows if it was an accident. We had just seen the best version of Bec we had ever seen, now this awful tragedy.”

A friend of Ms Ode’s found her lying on the ground with an eyeball hanging out of her head, her face and cheek bones caved in, and her jaw and collarbones broken.

Ms Ode was rushed to a hospital on the Bali mainland by boat, but they could not operate because they needed an eye surgeon. She was transferred to another hospital in Denpasar where she underwent a 14 hour surgery.

“It looks like she has lost the use of one of her eyes, we have to wait and see what will happen to the other eye,” Mr Wilton said.

“Bec also has haemorrhaging and has air pockets on the brain.”

Ms Ode’s family are now organising a medevac to bring her home to the Gold Coast, but they need to get a clearance on the air pockets on her brain before she can fly.

The family have set up a Go Fund Me page to help cover the cost of her medical expenses in Bali which are almost at $100,000 and to pay for a medevac back to Australia, which is expected to cost about $150,000.

“We need about a quarter of a million dollars pretty quickly to get Bec back home,” Mr Wilton said.

“At this point in time, the family aren’t worrying about their emotions that can happen when Bec gets back to Australia.

“Everyone is just trying to stay very positive for Bec, they are just grateful she is alive and want to get her back home.”
