Please Help Us Bring Diana James Home
Donation protected
Hi! Our names are Megan and Matthew, we are the daughter and son to Diana James. We are experiencing one of the most surreal events of our lifetime currently.
On Mother’s Day (5/14) we put our mother on a plane in Portland Oregon for what was supposed to be a trip of her lifetime to Portugal. Within 16 hours of landing she suffered a subdural hematoma, we believe due to some unfortunate events that occurred during her travel. She went to a park along the river bank for an art class and didn’t feel well. She lost consciousness at the park and the ambulance was called. She was taken to Braga Portugal for an emergency craniotomy (removing part of the skull to relieve pressure). We were notified on Tuesday 5/16 and were on a flight out on 5/18 arriving 5/19.
It took 7 very long grueling months of battle with Humana (which will have to be settled by a judge), getting Senator Murray involved to coordinate a Medical Emergency Repatriation Loan with the US Embassy, which took 21 days to be approved, but we finally were able to bring her to Seattle’s Harborview University of Washington Medical Center for necessary treatment. This chapter concluded on 12/11/23 and we are now ramping up to continue our mission to get her medical treatment Humana is likely to deny. The first part of our mission was finally successful but our advocacy for our mom will continue.
We appreciate any and all support you are willing to give to help us get our mom all the way back home! No donation is too small, even a penny adds up to something! We appreciate your generosity and consideration no matter the amount. If you cannot afford to contribute, please feel free to share! It is literally going to take a village to bring her home! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! There are no words adequate enough to describe our gratitude for the love and generosity we have encountered during this time.
