Help Madeline Go Home

Donation protected
I have a really wonderful friend named Madeline Parmet, and I represent a group of Madeline's friends who are getting together here to raise money to help Madeline in her time of need.

I've known Madeline for over fifteen years. We met when she called us to do a new website for her hotel in downtown Merida, Luz en Yucatan . The website we built together was as quirky and fun as she was, and included the ability to get a lower price on a room if you didn't make much money, or pay more if you were doing well. Luz en Yucatan grew in reputation, soon becoming the most coveted reservation in downtown Merida . Years later, Madeline sold the hotel to its current owners and moved to Montevideo, Uruguay.

Through the years, I have known Madeline to support many people less fortunate than herself. She gave money to many worthy causes and always gave people the benefit of the doubt. Madeline donated money to young entrepreneurs to start their businesses, and to young people to build houses. She was generous to a fault and is beloved by many.

In addition, Madeline is what many people would call a "character". She has a style of writing and living that is her own... she includes everyone, she suffers no fools and she always goes for the laugh, even at her own expense. And underneath her crazy-smart, gypsy, rebel soul is a huge heart of gold.

Right now, Madeline is stuck in a hospital in Montevideo, Uruguay after suffering multiple strokes and a broken leg. She is facing being kicked out by the hospital for lack of funds and, though she can't speak as a result of the strokes, she has made it clear that she just wants to go home to her own bed and her cats. If you know Madeline at all, you know how important this must be to her.

Because Madeline has no funds left to support 24-hour care, even in Uruguay, we are reaching out to the world of people who stayed at Luz en Yucatan over the years or whose lives have been touched by Madeline. If you knew Madeline, you were touched by her wit, her big heart, her generosity and her love for anything or anyone who were suffering.

Now it is Madeline who is suffering, and it is we who can help. Please donate what you can... we promise that all the funds will be used to help Madeline leave the hospital, return to her home and get back on her feet.

If you have any questions, please contact us and we will be happy to answer them. If you don't make much money, just donate a little. If you are doing well, maybe donate a bit more. Madeline has never asked for anything for herself, and has always given so much to others... it is time for us to do that for her!

The funds are needed immediately, so please don't hesitate!!
