Hospitalization/medical expenses for Teresa Garcia

My Family and I are extremely aware the world we live in is more chaotic, and messy than usual at this moment in time. We hope anyone reading this finds themselves in good health and in a safe place.


On Monday March 23rd 2020 my aunt Teresa was found basically paralyzed by her own daughter that was visiting her in Tijuana Baja California where my aunt and uncle live. She was unable to speak nor move she was unresponsive so they immediately called an ambulance and got her to the nearest hospital.


Due to the current Covid-19 virus and the quarantines taking place the hospital she was taken to was placed on lockdown. Two of her sisters and 4 of her 5 children along with her 3 month old granddaughter made their way to Tijuana from California and Nevada. The borders were closed down a couple days before due to the virus as well, however they made exceptions for emergencies. In which this case it was, they showed up to the hospital on multiple occasions but were given the run around regarding my aunts status.

On some occasions the nurses and doctors would even contradict eachother by saying they had visiting hours at certain times and then say they were on a lockdown. Despite my family's efforts to see my aunt they unfortunately weren't able to do so, however they were able to finally speak with a doctor on Thursday March 26th to find out her status.

The news we recieved was heartbreaking. The doctor pretty much said that my aunt suffered a brain embolism,which is when a blood clot that forms somewhere in the body travels to the brain through an artery which typically would cause a blockage causing a stroke, however in my aunts case the blood clot caused her artery to actually rupture in her brain basically leaving her brain dead.

We are asking for help in this difficult time because of the fact that the hospital she was taken to was a general hospital on lockdown her kids and family were unable to see her and be by her side.

We ended up transferring her to a private hospital where we will get to see her and be by her side, however it does cost $1,500 a day to keep her there.The doctors say theres not much they can do it's only a matter of time. They did mention it could be days or even weeks. Her kids would love to be by her side and she never got the opportunity to meet her new grandbaby in person. Especially with the coronavirus spread taking the baby to the hospital was out of the question.

If your able to help out in any way possible we would greatly appreciate it.

Anything helps, even if financially your hands are tied. You can help with a Prayer.

God Bless you all.
