Sofar there are very few visitors to this blog but naturally you who have come here want to know what is happening. I am happy to tell you that we have got some respit. Ona has been able to leave the hospital and she is at the moment staying at her former home in Södermalm, Stockholm, Sweden. She really is a trooper! Although she can hardly walk she has a motivation and a lust for life which I can hardly describe. She seems impatient to come back as soon as she possibly can and I simply must do everything within my power to help her. Her both legs are put on cast and she will have these on until Wednesday.
At the moment this blog has perhaps 10-20 unique daily visitors and there is where you can help. If you feel that you want to help Ona back to life please spread the message through your personal networks. I am not expecting everybody else to solve our problems. At the moment I am selling off what I can myself to raise as much money as possible to pay for her hospital bills but there is also the time factor. The final bill has not yet been presented but I just spoke to the hospital and at the moment the costs are about SEK 40 500 or $5 135. But that will rise. Insurance covers 20 000/$2 538 and it is expected that the total costs for her imminent care will end up at around $5 000 on top of that.
This blog does not carry any advertising and whether or not it will succeed to help Ona depends on donations. Honestly, every single dollar or SEK does make a difference. I realize that the step between feeling sympathy and actually making a donation may be too much out of the daily routines for some people. But the donation doesn't need to be big! Surely you can contribute a dollar or two? At least that is our hope.
The goal is very clear: to raise $5 000 during June 2009 which will be sufficient to save Ona. At the moment a donation of SEK 50 ($6.35) has been received and that is a first step. Thanks again, Tina!
More updates will follow soon.
