Help Lucia Finally Leave the Hospital

Donation protected
I have a friend named Lucia Cores that lives in Venezuela. Lucia I've known for years and has been studying to become a biologist. This year she was suppose to graduate with her degree, but in December she caught a bad case of bronchitis. Lucia was hospitalized, however, doctors were unable to proceed with treatment due a lot of funds from Lucia's family.

This developed into pneumonia into late January, with Covid-19 through into the mix. Lucia's health has taken a dramatic turn for the worse since this point, but thankfully in February they were able to get medicine to finally cure the pneumonia.

We thought we were finally in the clear at the start of March, however on March 11th Lucia suffered a severe asthma attack (something she never had before her hospitalization) and is now in the hospital again with pneumonia. Doctors have had to give her a breathing mask almost daily to help with the asthma attacks. Venezuela's healthcare has not been helpful either, as Lucia's family has had to pay for nearly everything, from basic inhalers, antibiotics food, room fees, and more.

Lucia by this point has already sold her car, and her own phone to help pay for the medical expenses. Her family has also had to sell a lot, but none of the funds have been able to provide her the treatment she needs. Her doctor recently said her immune system has been weakened, and despite fresh antibiotics, she has not improved.

Lucia and her family are desperate, and they want to finally move on from this ordeal. The doctor has said Lucia needs the following:
-Remdesivir x 10 days ($39 each, $390 approx)
-Human Immunoglobulin ($396)

The critical thing Lucia absolutely needs is immunoglobulin to help her immune system recover. Please consider helping my friend. She's very eager to graduate and finally start earning money for herself, and she's 100% ready to leave Venezuela and escape its inhumane healthcare system.

$900 is the goal to help cover those two medications, and $100 in case she needs another set of antibiotics once she takes the immunoglobulin.

If you can't donate, please consider sharing to everyone you know. It would be very appreciated.
