Help Minerva pay for her triple-bypass surgery
Donation protected
Minerva was admitted to the hospital with chest pains in November. She had suffered a heart attack, and not the first one, she was told. The fact that she had survived the heart attack was a miracle in itself. Her heart was functioning at 20% and she needed life-saving surgery. On December 16th, she successfully endured triple-bypass surgery. 2 of her arteries were blocked 100%. We thank God everyday that she is doing well, and on her way to a full recovery.
However, the bills have started to arrive and her health insurance won't cover much. All her medical expenses were considered out-of-network. You see, she was in Puerto Rico, an emergency trip because our Dad had suffered a heart attack. He was happily discharged, and she decided to stay a little longer to help him in his recovery. The ironies of life.
Minerva's health insurance isn't accepted in Puerto Rico, and since she isn't a resident, she doesn't have many options.
We are so grateful for the many family members and friends who were there for her in the difficult times before and after her surgery.
She needs help once again. Can you help her with her medical bills? Can you pass the word along to others who may be able to help? No amount is too small. We would be immensely grateful.
Thank you for your generosity.
