My sister, Becky, has been quadriplegic for 25+ years from a vehicle accident. In October of last year, she was diagnosed with bladder cancer & medivaced from the Homer Hospital to Providence Hospital in Anchorage, Alaska. Our Mom, stood in the parking lot waving at the helicopter until it was out of sight. That was the last time she saw Becky.
The personnel at Providence have been wonderful and, by December, had Becky stabilized so she could be moved by Christmas - that didn't happen. For various and changing reasons, the Homer hospital and Soldotna hospital have stalled and refused to take Becky.
Our family lives in Ninilchik, between Homer & Soldotna & approximately 45 miles from each. Anchorage is a 200 mile trip at an expense of $300 for a one-day visit. Our Mom has a heart condition & has not been able to travel as far as Anchorage to see Becky. Given 3-5 months to live, Becky has outlived her death sentence by 2 months so far, waiting to see her Mom one more time. Please help us.
