Get Mario home

Mario (our beloved dad, husband, brother, grandfather, uncles) went to visit his home town for the holidays in Michoacan, Mexico. Unfortunately, he suffered a stroke and is in critical condition.

His daughters flew out to Mexico the very next day. There are so many horror stories they have experience in the healthcare system/lack there are in Mexico.

Small towns do not have well trained doctors or equipment needed to provide care. Mario was moved from a small clinic to a bigger clinic an hour away, which also did not provide adequate care, oxygen nor have had hooked up to any machine to read his vitals. He was then moved in an ambulance 3 hrs away to a regional hospital to get an MRI. Only to be denied admission citing he did not require emergency care and had him in a hallway the entire time without checking his vitals or providing any medical attention. He is paralyzed from his entire right side, has high blood pressure, diabetes, needs to be fed through a tube, and requires oxygen. Our family is overcome with fear. Once he was kicked out of the emergency the family scrambled to find an open clinic and an ambulance. He had not eaten all day, his blood pressure was 202 and his blood sugar was high and oxygen levels were low. Incredible that the doctors at the regional hospital send people home to die. If that was not an emergency I don't know what is. He is currently in critical condition in a small clinic.

We contacted the US Embassy and directed us to a list of Air ambulance company that can transport him safely to the United States to get the proper care he needs. We are asking from the bottom of our hearts to help us get our beloved Mario home! His life depends on it.

Thank you so much in advance.
