Please help Sharina to walk again!
On the 27th of February a tragic incident occurred when a sign fell on the student marching in the Independence Day Parade. One beautiful girl, Amber Lydia, lost her life, many were injured and Sharina Michelle Balbuena Gonzalez (14 years) had her legs crushed.
Sharina was rushed to Centro medico Bournigal where the doctors feared it was beyond their skills to save her legs; fortunately an excellent orthopedic surgeon from HOMES hospital (Santiago) happened to be in the area and worked tirelessly for 10 hours to reconnect her tendons and arteries. This is just the first step; once the first surgery heals they must go back in and reconnect the bones. The legs have been saved but now the work begins to make them function again so Sharina can lead a normal life.
Unfortunately the Parents do not have insurance and the hospital bills are fast mounting, as of Saturday the bill was $530,000RD. We ask everyone to please help! Any donation, big or small (even $100RD), will be appreciated.
