Justice for Heather
Heather Winterstein was 24 years old when she felt ill and came to the emergency room for treatment. Perhaps all Emergency room saw was an Indigenous woman who was addicted. She had gone to the emergency room because of a backache. Was no bloodwork taken? Had they done a proper exam, including bloodwork they would have seen Strep A. Strep A is treatable. Heather was sent home with a prescription for Tylenol.
The next day, not feeling better, Heather returned to emergency by ambulance, collapsed in the emergency room and was admitted into Intensive Care. Within hours she was dead. The family wants answers for Heather. The family doesn’t want to see any other family go through what they are going through.
Her passing was sudden.
The family is requesting support to cover funeral costs, so the community may also be included in grieving her loss.
Can you help the family by contributing to this fund so the family can hire a lawyer to find out the truth? Will you please help to get justice for Heather?
Dollars received will be partly used to cover funeral costs and partly to assist the family to find justice, but way of honest changes to our Heath system, for all.
