According to the US Sun, the Santa Clara resident was found unconscious by the side of a road on the Indonesian island on July 31.

A GoFundMe page has raised $205,865 and 2.8k people have donated till now. Kaitlyn’s family said on the page:

“Two young men found her on a remote road, alone, unconscious, broken and bleeding. Without their help, she surely would have died. Kaitlyn is currently in a coma at a hospital in Denpasar, Bali. She has suffered a traumatic brain injury along with multiple other serious injuries.”

The family added that they were not able to communicate properly with hospital staff due to the language barrier. They said that Kaitlyn purchased travel insurance, but the company refused to pay the amount of $250,000 needed to evacuate her to California.

Because of Covid-19 restrictions, the Indonesian government has rejected the requests of Kaitlyn McCaffery’s relatives to visit her.
