Jackie needs help!
Jackie needs help!
Dear all,
To cut the story short, my father is in the Royal United Hospital, Bath, UK now. He had third stage gastric / stomach cancer, and he had surgery in Malaysia to remove the tumour. Currently he is suppose to be in between his third and fourth chemotherapy session. His condition in Malaysia was fine, however after arriving in UK he started to vomit which lead to his hospitalisation. Recently via a CT scan, it seemed that the cancer may have spread, which may be related to the partial obstruction of his bowel now.
I was only made aware of his cancer story when he arrived in UK about a week ago. Therefore I was really unprepared for everything now, especially emotionally. And may be due to their under-education, my parents did not realise they should have bought medical insurance/health card to cover any possibly incurred medical cost for they stay in UK.
I have planned to get my father the earliest flight back to Malaysia, unfortunately based on his current condition, the doctor/consultant does not allow him to fly without medical assistance. I currently need to gather £16000 by 9 July 2013 to pay for the escort company to enable me send him home safely.
As a foreign visitor, a full night in the hospital will cost 372 pounds. Plus, there are a few tests yet to be done and some may cost up to 500 pounds.
I have spoken to the Malaysian Consulate based in UK as well, unfortunately they cannot be of much help, especially financially.
As a government scholar from not a very wealthy family, his medical cost is my main concern now. I myself do have some savings it will not be enough to cover for his eventual medical bills (and perhaps, cost for emergency flight). Yet a life is more important than anything else.
While following my father's daily condition closely beside his bed, the only thing that I can do now is to seek extra source of funding to cover his probable medical expenses, as much as possible. Every contribution, no matter how small, will really count now.
At the same time, I will be greatly appreciative if you are able to recommend me any other possible extra sources of funding/connection/help to support me/my family in such a difficult period for us. E.G. if anyone is able to research for me the cheapest escort service available from London to Kuala Lumpur / Kota Kinabalu.
Thank you so much,
Jackie
