***CALLING ON THE CUYO KITE COMMUNITY***
One of our local kitesurf friends, Girlie (Gi), suffered a horrible crash on Capusan beach. The family will need financial support to cover the medical bills (think millions in PHP).
She was launched 3-4m into the air by a rare and unexpected gust of wind, and smacked down on the wet sand with high impact. Resulting in a dislocated hip, broken shoulder, fractured eye socket and potentially permanent loss of sight in one eye. The list of medical procedures that are needed is long.
Gi was always on Capusan to help others, always smiling and bringing the good vibes. She is a mother of 4 and a dear friend to local kite legend Jing.
The Cuyo Kite Community is calling on all our kitesurf friends all over the world to help raise money.
