Help my mother with meningitis cover medical bills

Donation protected




Hi, my name is Aida. Here I am asking for donations for my mum , who had a medical Emergency in Canada.

Me and my family live peacefully in Boucherville and to this moment managed to deal with all the problems ourselves without troubling anyone.
But today, I am facing the situation which makes me ask for help from all the people who care. Even a very small donation would be highly appreciated.

My mum is a tourist in Canada, who just arrived a few weeks ago in hope to spend some time with her 3 grandchildren she didn’t see for ages. Almost immediately she caught a cold and developed an ear infection. Few days later she felt unconscious and was taken to the Pierre -Boucher Hospital. She was diagnosed with Meningitis and transferred to The Neuro. God was kind to us, and she came back to her senses. We’ve been told her full recovery is possible if she continues getting a proper care.

Now, when she is slowly getting better, we started thinking about financial part of this situation and to our horror realised that she didn’t do a travel insurance prior to coming to Canada. She, who is a pensioner with low income and saves on everything, buying food only on offer, has now decided to save an extra dollar on a health insurance which she never found useful before.

The hospital prices are terrifying. Bill for just staying in the hospital for a week so far (without doctors pay and special treatment) amounts to 90,000 CAD. It's 3 days in intensive care and the rest in the ward room. My mum can’t pay this bill.

Now we are waiting for her release and must continue the IV treatment with antibiotics at home for at least 3 more weeks. We’ve been told that it’s absolutely necessary to continue with her treatment. If we stop treatment while her brain is still infected her life again will be in danger.

The follow up treatment at home was estimated by private nursing services to about 16,590 dollars for all 3 weeks.
(It’s a visit of the nurse 250, taxi for her 60 and staying with her 85 over an hour. That’s 395 dollars twice a day for 3 weeks. So, all home treatment adds up to 16,590 CAD).

I would like to help my mum with all I have but these are astronomic numbers for our young family with 3 small kids. My mum is a pensioner. Her pension is ridiculously small by Canadian standards (it’s 200 CAD per month) as that is the pension for a retired teacher with 40 years experience in her homeland.

So, I am asking all the caring people to give us any support they can. Your donations will be going to funding the Intravenous drips with antibiotics and nursing services and paying hospital bills which we can’t afford with ourselves.

Please help us.

Thank you.
