Fundraiser for Saras Medical Rehabilitation
On Monday June 15th Sara suffered a severe brain bleed that
resulted in her being placed in a medically induced coma where she was
unresponsive for 10 days. She required the evacuation of a large right
sided occipital hematoma with severe mid brain and brain stem
compression. Following this she remained in ICU for 4 weeks with
supportive care under the supervision of the wonderful doctors and
team at St. Clair Medical.
She is making steady progress and was then moved from the ICU to a private room in the hospital. She still requires 24 hour care at this delicate stage of her recovery. We are confident with the right care, therapy and rehabilitation, that she can return to us to her full strength.
Her family and friends are seeking assistance to make that happen by having her airlifted to the US, to an immersive, inpatient facility for intensive coordinated rehabilitation, which unfortunately cannot be accessed here in Trinidad.
Insurance has denied coverage for the air lift but will cover a percentage of the medical expenses for her rehabilitation (we will only know once we have paid and apply). We are seeking to raise funds specifically for her air transport, her initial evaluation at an interim facility for assessment, and then her stay at rehab center (our first goal will be getting to at least 3 months of rehab).
Funds will also be needed to cover miscellaneous logistical costs of Damien or another family member staying nearby so she is not alone while undergoing treatment. Due to the necessity of long-term intensive therapy for the best possible outcome for Sara, even with partial insurance coverage, the costs are considerable.
Tonight, she will be airlifted to Miami and be received by Florida Mercy Hospital in South Florida.
Many of you who love Sara dearly, know that she truly embodies generosity. Her home is always open, her spirit is abundance, and no one around her is ever hungry.
We appreciate your generosity from the bottom of our hearts. Any gesture of help, however humble, will help us to get our Sara back to us as soon as possible.
