Help Margaret to pay hospital fees

Donation protected
Margaret, my mother in Law from Cape Town, arrived in Dublin on 25th June 2019 to help us with our children during summer holidays. She's been helping us every summer in the last decade. She loves that too, as she has an opportunity to spend time with her grandchildren and us. She loves Ireland as well - she saying if she had an opportunity to stay here she wouldn't need to think twice! She could move here tomorrow :)

A two weeks before her return to Cape Town, she's got very sick. Ended in hospital with very bad pneumonia. As she has a health condition (history of angina, asthma, emphasises etc) pneumonia took on her very bad. We weren't sure if she'll make it. Thanks to the fantastic doctors and nurses in Naas General Hospital, she made great recovery in 10 days. She's been seen by every single specialist, who done many tests on her (in South Africa she never even didn't received a single X-  Ray). Doctors found out that all medications she is on are wrong for her conditions - they change all her meds. She started feeling better and better every day. 

But as her underlying health conditions, she was unable to get travel insurance. Nor she has a health insurance. Just want to mention that before traveling to Ireland here she got clear to fly from her doctor.  As living in Old Age Home, her little pension goes toward her monthly fees. She doesn't have any money left for herself. 

Being Non EU citizen she is left with massive bill to pay for hospital, picture attached.

Margaret is a warm-hearted, very kind person, who used to give her last penny to the person who needs it, roof over the head to any person in need. She has been helping many different people through all her life.

Now she needs help.

All donation will be going straight to the Naas General Hospital to settle Margaret's bill.

A huge thank you for every single support!
