Ceinwen Cox had to accept half the market value for her house to rescue son Allan, 45, who had racked up a £67,000 hospital bill for having his pancreas removed
A devoted mum has been reunited with her sick son after selling her home at a knock-down price to fly him home from the Caribbean.
Allan Cox, aged 45, was left stranded in the Dominican Republic after racking up a £67,000 hospital bill after having his pancreas removed on holiday.
Island officials seized Allan’s passport and told him he could not leave until the medical bill was paid.
So mum Ceinwen Cox sold her two-bedroom terrace in Port Talbot for £37,000 - about half its market value - to get a quick sale.
Despite making herself homeless , Ceinwen,65, said: “It is worth it to have him home.
“I had no choice but to sell my family home to pay Allan’s medical bills.
“But getting my son home was all that mattered. He was virtually being held hostage in the Dominican until the bill was paid.
