Mom’s medical bills after life saving treatment.

(Note: USD, AUD, GBP, CAD, Euro Paypal links are at the bottom if you prefer to do it directly instead and since I can only have one currency at a time on here. Had to remove direct card payments because it takes 20 days before it can be withdrawn from eWallet.)

My mom is a colon cancer (3 years of being cancer free) and Covid survivor (fully vaccinated). Because of her cancer, they had to give her an urostomy and colostomy (that is currently not being used because they had to give her a temporary ileostomy during emergency surgery instead due to attachment issues.) So we are no strangers to hospital visits and medical bills but this time we are not able to fully cope with them.

In January she got very sick with sepsis to the point where they didn't think she would survive.The day we walked into ICU when we were informed, the doctor told us that there is a 90% chance that my mom won't survive because of how sick she is and it being a gram-negative infection.

My mom stayed in ICU from January 19th to February 2nd. She received critical care for the majority of the stay. Her kidneys completely failed so she had to get dialysis, her blood pressure had to be maintained with adrenaline since her blood pressure dropped to dangerous levels.She couldn't maintain it without adrenaline. The moment they paused the flow, her blood pressure dropped again. She also received expensive yet powerful antibiotics as well as blood and plasma transfusions.

These are just some of the treatments she received.

Long story short, my mom recovered enough to leave ICU. Stayed in a normal ward till February 4th then got discharged.

So we have doctors, physiotherapists, dieticians, pathologists, an anesthetist, the ones responsible for the dialysis, etc involved. The medical aid have tariffs for everything and most of these people involved ask more than the medical aid is willing to pay. Some even asking three times more. Which is adding up to a large sum of money.

We have already started selling some of our belongings so we can at least have food and electricity.

I am a fully qualified teacher but unfortunately I am unable to find a job to help pay since I am also helping my mom with the rest of her recovery.

I have nothing to offer in return for any donations but just know that we will be so grateful.

The money will be used to pay the medical bills and to help us with daily subsistence.

I am staying with my parents and the money will be paid to me directly and from there it will go out to the relevant people because there are quite a few of them as mentioned.

We would appreciate it if you would be so kind as to share this with others as well.
