Edith Rodriguez come home!

Hi, my name is Yvette, and I am fundraising for my mother, Edith. My mom is currently in Utuado, Puerto Rico. She is in the hospital undergoing therapy for trauma caused by my stepdad's death. In addition, my mom has a shunt in her head from bleeding on the brain, needs medical attention and suffers from mental health issues and possible dementia.

I am raising funds to help me to pay for her medical, travel, housing and legal expenses. In addition, my mom has no identification, so I will need help obtaining her documents in Puerto Rico, which will cost money. The hospital is billing her stay, so I will also need to pay for that.

I just returned from Puerto Rico without my mom; I need to bring her home to me, her family, her siblings, her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She needs to heal physically and mentally, the shunt in her head needs to be changed, and the trauma she went through with my dad, who died in the house, they were together over 40 years!

I have so much more to say, but not enough space to say it!

This request for help is not easy for me. I am a private person and don't like asking anyone for help! But, this is not about me. It's about my mother and her well-being. My mom is a strong woman, and that is where I get my strength from! Family is everything, and right now, my mom needs hers!

Thank you for reading my story.

Sincerely,

Yvette Rodriguez
