Urgent Help for Auntie Valeri’s Medical Crisis

Donation protected
Hi Friends/Relatives . My name is Karina Hall. My Auntie Valeri is having a medical emergency in Mexico right now. She has been diagnosed with heart issues, (needs some EKGs) has Pneumonia, SUPER HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE (went up from high of 172/99 to current 234 in just a couple of days. ) Last week, while she was in her Hotel's pool for physical therapy, an insect unexpectedly and rapidly flew into her left nostril. When it was removed, it was still alive. Immediately afterwards, she began experiencing allergic reactions. Her head started hurting, her throat started swelling up, and her chest started hurting. She knew that she needed IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION, but the security guard that the hotel had assigned to take Auntie Valeri to the pool in her wheelchair, at 7:30 pm, DID NOT RETURN, as Auntie Valeri had requested an hour later. In fact, she DID NOT RETURN AT ALL. Auntie was ABANDONED in the Roof Pool for another 4 HOURS, crying and praying to Jehovah to please send someone to rescue her. Because of her mobility issues she was TERRIFIED to attempt to get out of the pool by herself, in case she had a slip and fall, which would have been worse. She knew that eventually Jehovah would send someone to help her and he did. Much to her relief and surprise, the woman that came was someone Auntie had witnessed to a couple of days beforehand. She and her husband contacted the front desk for assistance, as well as assisted Auntie to prepare for the hospital. Finally, Auntie left for the hospital around 2 am. Since first hospitalized last week Auntie has been in the hospital 5 separate times. A few days ago, she woke up at 2:30 am coughing and spitting up. She could not breathe and had to be ambulanced to two different hospitals. As a senior, she could receive FREE TREATMENT in the U.S. but because of her precarious medical condition right now, her doctor has PROHIBITED her from flying. Her lungs are in bad condition. The hospitals in Mexico are requiring $4,000 just to start tests in order to commence treatment. Last night, she was experiencing stroke like symptoms. An ambulance was called, from the lobby, finally came about 20 minutes later but ABSOLUTELY REFUSED to take Auntie to the Hospital because she didn't have the funds necessary for the ambulance ride and hospital admittance. So please help in any amount that you are able ASAP. Thank you in advance friends and family of Auntie Valeri.
