Hi everyone.
Those of you who know our mom, Ine, know that she is a strong, proud, joyful, and kind-hearted woman.
Recently our dear mom has been going through a health crisis.
Her backstory: Ine moved to be with her kids, Derek and Anne Myers, on the Sunshine Coast back in the Winter of 2021. She wanted to be closer to her children and granddaughter, who is a ray of light in her life. Now approaching her 80th year of life, she is facing some difficult times and we hope to be able to help her through them with the support of her community.
We have been tirelessly working to make our Mom a permanent resident of Canada since her arrival. Her first application was denied back in 2022. Since then, we have been working with costly immigration lawyers to no avail.
Because of this, Ine does not have MSP. Every doctor or hospital visit comes out of her retirement savings.
On March 6th, our mom woke up with an extremely swollen cheek. We brought her to the ER, and after a 9 hour stay, she recieved a CT scan and IV antibiotics. It turns out she has an absess in her mouth, and needs extensive dental surgery.
The total cost of the hospital stay and CT scan was $3600. The IV antibiotics cost $1800. Her medication was $35.
The dental assessment was $84, and we won't know the cost of the dental work until it is completed.
We would like to buy her insurance once the dental work is completed, to cover anything else that might happen while we wait for permanent residency.
Thankfully, our dear mom is beginning to feel better after three intense rounds of IV antibiotics. Now we need to get through the surgery and help her heal up!
Any money raised will be going directly to paying these costs and buying insurance.
Your support means the world to us, and we are grateful for all of the care and love sent our way!
Ine, Anne, and Derek.
