Help Marissa with medical bills, fire injury
Donation protected
“On Sunday, April 4th, 2021 I went to Las de Guanatos in Cancun, Mexico with some friends to celebrate our last night in Mexico. We were only at the restaurant for maybe ten minutes before things went wrong. I have suffered 2nd degree burns across the entire left side of my face, left arm, left ear; even lost some of my hair. This was all due to the careless actions of the employees at this establishment who continued to pour alcohol onto a tray that was already completely lit and quite literally exploded in my face and set me on fire.
I just turned 26 back in December and am no longer on my mother’s insurance so I currently have no health coverage to pay for all the medical expenses. I am out of work for who knows how long without pay.
Thankfully I was able to get my semester extended at my university until mid summer so that I can still hopefully graduate by the end of this year. It’s hard for me to come out in the open about what happened to me because I’m not looking for sympathy. I simply want to expose the establishment that did this to me and try to make this right someway, somehow. Because this happened in Mexico I don’t know what real legal help I will be able to get in terms of reparations for the damages caused, so I appreciate any and all help as I recover from this tragic incident.”
