Hello friends and family. My mom and my sister Danielle have been in Mexico for the last few weeks, originally for a surgery that mom needed to have and for the ensuing recovery period. Almost 2 weeks ago, as mom was still recovering, Danielle ended up getting sick and had to be hospitalized after getting pneumonia and parainfluenza. We are thankful that she has improved significantly over the last week or so and she is close to being discharged.

Now, we are facing a new challenge. Because she needed to be hospitalized in Mexico, her insurance does not cover her stay and there are no options for to pay for the expenses via a payment plan or financing. In short, the entire bill must be paid up front before they can leave and begin the process of getting back to the US. It's going to take around $17,000, and we simply just don't have the means to hand over that much all at once.

We would greatly appreciate any help you could give to get this taken care of.
