A boy who was left with severe brain damage after an accident needs help to get home, his family said.
George Bailey, 11, suffered an injury to his brain after an incident at home on February 28 and was airlifted to St George's Hospital in London, where he stayed for 14 weeks.
He spent three weeks in intensive care and it took two weeks for him to open his eyes, Surrey Live reports.
The youngster, from Camberley in Surrey, has been living at The Children's Trust specialist rehabilitation centre in Tadworth since he was discharged from hospital.
Since the incident, George has become fully dependent on others for all aspects of his care, including hydration, nutrition and mobility.
He also suffers from severe dystonia - a movement disorder - which causes his muscles to painfully contract and spasm.
The boy's dad, Alex Bailey, said George loved being outdoors and spending time with his cousins on their farm.
He said the incident was "terrible", as he explained: "George can't speak or move, he has a tube going into his stomach and is doubly incontinent.
"We think he can hear and we have seen the faintest of smiles, but that is all. His future's very bleak, but we just hope that one day he can regain some kind of quality of life."
The family decided to create a Just Giving page to raise money to bring the youngster home and adapt the home to suit his needs.
Alex said the building work to adapt the property is estimated at £200,000.
The dad explained: "I run my own logistics company so I can be flexible with looking after George, and Elizabeth's work has been very understanding.
"We don't get much of a chance to spend time all together as a family, so having him back home with us would give us more family time. It would also help George being surrounded by voices of friends and family that he can recognise."
The family would love to buy an off-road wheelchair for George, so that he can get "back out into the countryside that he loves so much", but this will also come at a high cost, Alex said.
The boy's two younger siblings, Henry and Hugo, have also had to adapt to the sudden change in their big brother.
Before his accident, George was "very proud" of raising over £100 by selling homemade poppies for the Poppy Appeal and he also hiked to the top of Mount Snowdon and Pen y Fan in Wales.
He loved doing karate and was an "enthusiastic" cadet at the Frimley and Camberley Cadet Corps.
Alex said the past few months have been "devastating" for George's friends and family, and they are doing "everything possible to aid his recovery and give him the best possible future".
His loved ones are hoping he can return home in the new year, and all donations will make a huge difference to George's life going forward.
