Gold Coast dad Remuna Avaemai fighting for life after horror Bali crash

A young father and former soldier from the Gold Coast is fighting for life after suffering a traumatic brain injury during a motorcycle crash while on holiday in Bali. 

Remuna Avaemai, 26, from Tugun in the Gold Coast, is currently on life support in an induced coma following a motorcycle accident while on holiday to the popular Indonesian province on Friday. 

His family are on a desperate mission to raise enough cash to bring him home once he is stable after being quoted up to $180,000 by medical authorities. 

Mr Avaemai’s former partner, Meg Sproule, with whom he shares a young daughter named Maeva, said he had been in Bali for a quick break between jobs when disaster struck.

‘To fly Remuna home, with the care he requires, will be a massive undertaking and extremely costly,’ she said.

‘Our aim is to bring him home as soon as he is stable enough, to be with his daughter and family.’

Ms Sproule revealed that her former partner served in Afghanistan during a five-year career with the Australian army.

‘We are really hoping that Australia can help him in return,’ she added.

Ms Sproule said she was desperate to reunite him with his young daughter.

‘The only thing he would want is to feel her presence and hear her words,’ she told the Gold Coast Bulletin. 

She said the dad and daughter had a ‘very unique connection’.

‘Our biggest thing is trying to get him through this so he can continue making memories with Maeva,’ Ms Sproule said.

‘She has a very profound love for her dad and doesn’t understand what is going on at the moment.’

Mr Avaemai served his country in Afghanistan: ‘We are really hoping that Australia can help him in return,’ said his ex-partner Meg Sproule 

Doctors have removed half of Mr Avaemai skull and will need to operate again to replace it. 

Despite being in a ‘delicate state’, Ms Sproule said her ex-partner had shown positive signs in his recovery.

‘When his brother saw him, he squeezed his brother’s hand and was trying to pull the tube out of his mouth.’

Mahana Avaemai, Remuna’s sister, is by his bedside as he fights for his life.   

‘I’m here with him now and he will not fight this alone,’ she wrote on Facebook. 

‘We are grateful for any donation to get him home.’

Gold Coast company, Medical Rescue, has since reportedly offered to coordinate Mr Avaema’s transfer and repatriate him back to the coast.

Daily Mail Australia has approached the company for comment.  

Ms Sproule has set up a GoFundMe page to raise funds for her ex-partner’s medical treatment and to raise funds for his repatriation.
