First we would like to thank you for taking time to read this, as two daughters (19/22 yrs/o) to our single mother who urgently needs help.
On July 3rd our vivacious mother of 55 years old, suffered from a severe ischemic stroke. After being in the emergency room and intensive care for several weeks, despite immediate action, she is now immobilized fully on her left side, and residing in a rehabilitation facility which will allow her to regain function. She has already started on this recovery process, now 2 weeks in, with some notable improvements, first of which with her speech; and now regaining feeling in her leg and arm through daily therapy and movement exercises, which is very promising.
We have been lucky thus far to have had insurance to cover the cost of the rehab expenses, however, that has now run out, despite a lot of dialogue with the insurance company. Staying and completing the full duration of recovery will be essential in her returning both to work as a full time family lawyer, but also to her life as the charismatic amazing woman she is, FULL of energy and life.
The facility provides full time professional care for her, aiding in helping her stand, bathing her, taking her to the bathroom; and completing basic routines that are quite difficult for someone in her position. Furthermore, aiding her with expert medical advice and therapy techniques to improve motor skills, to allow her to walk and operate independently in the future. Having this duration cut short and her returning home, despite how much we would love her here, and how much we miss her, is not the right decision.
The difficulties with money are complicated significantly by Covid. Although we had been working to bring in money, the recent dramatic rise in Covid cases in Puerto Rico, including a confirmed case at one of our workplaces, we need to isolate ourselves from exposure for the safety of our mother. We are living in Carolina, Puerto Rico, and unfortunately due to increased tourism with these summer months, despite our incredibly strict lockdown (90 days completely inside since March, mandated and ticketed), cases have reached an all time high.
The expertise needed to make sure our mother completes her rehabilitation can only be provided by an institution specialized to ensure this recovery. The therapies are very expensive, but extremely necessary. Our mother needs all the help she can get. She has always provided everything to us, all alone, and we are only trying to return nothing less than what she deserves.
We would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for any bit of aid you could provide, it means so much to our family. Any amount is welcome. Thank you and please SHARE!!
