Help Baby James Eee and Family
Donation protected
Dear Antigonish community and beyond,
This young family needs our help with mounting healthcare and related bills.
Kent Eee and Bella Tan came to Antigonish, Nova Scotia from Malaysia in 2016 with their two children on extended travel visas to spend time with Bella's brother Melvin, who has been living in our community with his family for several years.
While in Antigonish, Bella started experiencing health difficulties, still early on in her pregnancy. Doctors told her it was too dangerous to fly back to Malaysia (a 26-hour trip), and baby James was born at the IWK on April 5th, nine weeks premature, weighing only 4 lbs.
Baby James is still experiencing health issues and has been in and out of hospital.
Their health insurance from Malaysia having run out, and not covered by MSI (Nova Scotia health insurance), Bella and James's cumulative hospitalization and health costs (approx. $5,500/day while in hospital) are expected to exceed $200,000, which is well beyond the family's means.
Please consider donating even a small amount. Any amount we can raise to help the Tan-Eee family will be appreciated.
