Help Elvis Get On His Feet Again
Donation protected
My dear friend Elvis is in need of urgent medical care after being hit by a car in his home town of French Harbour, Roatan, Honduras.In the early morning of January 7, 2017, Elvis was struck down by a car while he was riding his motorcycle, causing massive skull and leg injuries.
As you may know, in a place like Honduras, there is no medical or health coverage for the poor. Elvis; although a hard working man who has a job; still qualifies as one of the very poor and does not have health insurance.
What you may not know is that Roatan, being a small remote island, does not have the medical facilities, equipment or staff to deal with these kinds of critical injuries. So he must be transferred to get the critical care he requires.
Today (January 9, 2017), Elvis was able to catch a flight to San Pedro Sula after 2 long days waiting for the terrible weather to pass.
However, as of 4:00pm Honduran time, he has yet to reach the Hospital due to terrible weather conditions at the San Pedro Airport. They had to turn back and land in La Ceiba, and take a 3 your trip in a private Ambulance.
I will keep you posted on his journey.
I am not certain what the future holds for Elvis, but I hope we can provide his family with every possibility to get the care he needs. I suspect he will need a ct scan, a cast, possible surgery, medications and time to recover in the hospital.
I love Elvis dearly and I appreciate any help you can offer, even if it is a very powerful prayer.
Thank you for your support and care.
