Help me save my parents

As many of you may know, my Mother is battling stage 4 bone cancer. With her being a travel agent, she has been itching to go away, so we decided to go on a family vacation to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic to enjoy the holidays together.
Unfortunately, the trip did not go as planned. We arrived on December 12thand on Wednesday December 16th, my Father became ill. After two days of my Dad not leaving bed, we finally went back to the doctor. Sadly, we found out that he had COVID. The rest of the family was tested, and my Mother was positive as well.
My parents got sent to a hospital, who demanded $6,000 to keep them over night. My parents were forced to leave and they unplugged them from their oxygen machines and they still had to pay $4,000. They had guards at the door until they came up with the money. From there, they walked 20 minutes back to the resort, which did not help their lungs.
The following day, my brother, Colby and I returned to the United States without our parents and without being able to say goodbye. That day, they were sent to another hospital via an ambulance, which they have been at for 8 days now.
Up until yesterday, they were both in the ICU together and then they separated them. My Dad needs my Mom by his side and this morning the doctor said there was a decline in his X-ray.
They have not been able to communicate properly with doctors there due to the language barrier. The food that they have been receiving has been bare minimal and very unappetizing. They had one nurse that took good care of them, but the others don’t take care of them.
My parents need to come back to the United States! My mom is missing her cancer treatments and her white blood cell count is very low. She has been sweating and shaking. We are working with the US embassy to get them Medevacd home. Even if We can raise enough money just for their flights, we would be so grateful for each and everyone of you for your assistance.
Anything helps! Please help me get my parents back here and to help save their lives.
