"I just want to get him home, we're in a strange country," Ramsey said.

"And I just want to go home, he needs to be back in Perth." 

The mother has just paid a $70,000 surgery bill, with her son's treatment costing $9000 a day.

"The medevac, I don't know what that's going to cost," Ramsey said.

The 30-year-old  wasn't wearing a helmet when he came off his scooter on Sunday morning.

His skull was left fractured and he had bleeding on his brain and lungs.

The Perth tradie's friends bought him the airline ticket but he didn't take out insurance.

He was taken by taxi to hospital, where medical bills are climbing.

"I'll sell the house if I have to, we just have to get him back to where he needs to be," his mother said.

The Ramsey family is relying on strangers to fund the 30-year-old's return to Perth and an online fundraiser has so far raised more than $65,000.
