Help Argel Recover: Medical Fund for Urgent Care

Donation protected
Hello, my name is May, and I’m reaching out for your support for my cousin, Argel, who is currently fighting for his life in a Canadian hospital. Argel traveled to Canada as a tourist to reunite with his siblings in Halifax, but his visit took a drastic turn when he fell seriously ill.

On March 12, Argel started experiencing severe nausea and diarrhea, which persisted for several days, leaving him extremely weak. Despite his deteriorating condition, he hesitated to seek medical help knowing how expensive for tourists to be hospitalized in Canada. However, on the night of March 16, his situation became critical, and he was rushed to the emergency room as he began hyperventilating.

Upon admission, it was discovered that Argel’s blood pressure had plummeted to dangerous levels (80/40), and he required immediate surgery to address a blockage in his stomach. Tragically, during the operation, he suffered a cardiac arrest, leading to further complications. He was resuscitated but is now in intensive care, fighting for his life.

The financial burden of Argel’s medical treatment is immense. According to the 2023 Nova Scotia Hospital Fees for Out-of-country Visitors, each day in the ICU costs approximately $21,000, and the expenses are rapidly accumulating. As Argel’s family, we are overwhelmed by the unexpected nature of this crisis and are seeking your assistance in covering his medical bills.

Your generous contributions, no matter how small, will make a significant difference in Argel’s recovery journey. Your prayers and support during this challenging time are deeply appreciated. Together, we can provide Argel with the medical care he urgently needs and help him overcome this unforeseen ordeal.

Thank you for your kindness and generosity.
