Maria Paniagua and her 4 kids

To be honest, this all started when the Childrens father became an alcoholic, and unreliable. My best friend Maria worked at all times of day and night doing Uber. Some days were better then others. She was pregnant with her 5 and she was busting her A$$ off doing what any single parent would do. Between her sick mother recovering from foot surgery, her doctors appointments, her 4 kids and working crazy hours.. she just couldn’t keep faith that god would provide. She was stressed out so much that she got so sick and ended up in the Hospital. Doctors soon discovered that she had influenza and pneumonia that was so severe, that her 8 month old pregnant body gave out. Maria went into a coma, while her unborn child died inside her. The baby couldn’t be saved, because Maria was so sick to have had a c-section. It was a 50/50 on who to save. Doctors went with Maria , she still has 4 other children to tend to. It’s been the most difficult 2 weeks of her, and her family’s life. Financial we’re struggling between her rent, her car payment, and her 4 kids needs. We’ve gone to church’s for food and other charities, however they can only help so much. We never could have imagined this happening, but now that it’s happening it’s all too real and scary. Maria is in a sleep coma we’re the doctors have still feed her through tubes and suction out the virus, but when she wakes up eventually, she’s going to need help. I can only do some much, and her mom herself is still at the hospital recovering from a stroke. I know Maria and her children would appreciate anything to help them get buy. I myself have contributed, and now I’m asking others to look deep inside and ask themselves what they can. Thank you.



The baby was taken out after 2 days dead inside of her, after she awoken from her coma.
