She is a mother and grandmother from Hongkong who has been sacrificially caring for her ailing husband for a long time.
But now, 68 years old, her body has failed her. She has suffered a myocardial infarct and has massive breathing problems. A kidney is in danger of failing and the only way to save her is a heart transplant.
Now you might think the problem is the transplant itself or the donor heart. But none of that is the problem.
It's just that she can't get health insurance due to a combination of pre-existing conditions and her age.
But her son refuses to just let her die. He is currently trying everything to get the huge amount of money together to pay for the treatment. He told me he doesn't care if he has to start from scratch economically.
He has monetized everything he owned, in addition to taking out a loan from the bank and yet there are another $22,000 missing!
It is a sad system that lets someone die because there is no money for treatment. Can we manage to get this sum together? Every euro and every dollar helps.
