Little Sonya Davis, five, tragically died in hospital on Friday, just four days after a car struck the motorcycle she was travelling on with her grandmother in Thailand.
Sonya was on holiday with her parents, George and Somepong Davis, and big brother Justin, six. The Davis family were staying with relatives on a farm in Northern Thailand when the accident occurred.
Her grandmother was killed instantly on impact and, while Sonya survived the crash, she was left critically injured. She was rushed to hospital and then put on life support.

The page says they received $21k, after asking for $15k. People have been very generous, and that's great because its a truly awful situation but I don't get why they needed so much (even with the 'living expenses' they mentioned), or why their travel and/or life insurance wasn't enough.
I feel mean about asking but often these crowdfund appeals ask for $1000s in donations but don't themselves offer much information to their donors. And, I'm not going to give away money to people who won't let me know what's going on: Why is the goal to receive $XX000 ; and; Exactly what will my money be spent on?
While this is an absolute tragedy, it is not the responsibility of others to pay the costs of bringing the child back.
