Help Bring Anna Leibenko HomeTragedy has befallen a community member. Anna Leibenko, a 24-year-old Toronto resident, is in a coma in a Croatian hospital, and her family is asking for your help.

While on a European vacation with friends, Leibenko, a former Argonauts cheerleader, had traveled to Croatia for Yacht Week, where she slipped off a catamaran, hitting her head on the boat’s ledge and falling three metres into the water bellow. She was transported by helicopter to a hospital in Split, Croatia, where she remains in a coma with brain contusions and facial bone fractures. And the bills are mounting.

When her condition stabilizes, Leibenko will need to be flown by air ambulance back to Toronto. Unfortunately, Leibenko was without travel insurance and her family must now front the staggering $93,550 USD transportation fee. They’re turning to the community for aid, asking for donations of any kind to bring their beloved Anna home.

So far, nearly $40,000 has been raised, but work still needs to be done. This Thursday, August 23, a fundraiser is being held at the Honest Lawyer in Richmond Hill to generate needed donations for the cause. You can show your support by attending or make a donation at help-anna-leibenko.org.
