Debbie thanked the generous well-wishers – but also revealed a problem the family are encountering with their search efforts.

She said they want to use the money to continue to support locals and volunteers.

But they said the family want to bring in more specialist search units – but for this they need permission from the Spanish police.

Debbie wrote: “We are so grateful for your continued support to bring our boy home”

She went on: “We also continue to be contacted by experienced groups offering to support our search.

“We are busy talking to them about what they can do to assist.

“But in order for us to employ their help, they need to have permission from the Spanish authorities.”

Jay’s dad Warren, brother Zak and uncle Glen yesterday returned to the mountainous region of Tenerife where it is believed Jay vanished.
