Six months ago, my mom went to the hospital because she started feeling numb on one side of her body. They told me she almost had a stroke and that she had blood clots but they were able to keep it under control. She looked good for a few months until recently she started getting sick and then one day, she couldn’t support herself. She refused medical attention and said she was strong enough to get through this. But I saw she needed the medical attention and decided to call an ambulance.  When I got there, they told me she had a stroke and that she had a lot of permanent damage but could recover through therapy. I would visit her everyday and she would tell me to pray for her and that she is strong enough to get through this. On Monday March 22nd my mother Marina Espanol passed away . She left behind a beloved husband and four kids . This was very unexpected tragedy so we are asking you, our family and friends for help during this tough time. We appreciate any help which will go to her funeral and medical expenses.
