Ailing policewoman needs financial assistance
Urgent financial help is needed to help save the life of ailing female police Corporal Brenda Wong.
Relatives of the 43-year-old single mother of four, are seeking the assistance of the public to raise T&T $195,000 which is approximately GYD $5,775,000. The money represents an estimated cost for an emergency brain surgery in the twin-island republic.
Brenda Wong
Local doctors detected a leaking aneurysm in Wong’s brain after a Computed Tomography (CT) scan was conducted last September.
Wong’s daughter, Demi Austin explained that her mother had suffered from sudden onsets of severe headaches, episodes of vomiting and generalized weakness and dizziness.
“My mother went to Woodlands after she felt really sick, she always had headaches and so but it worsened, and she visited the private hospital and doctors diagnosed her with a leaking aneurysm of the brain. She was referred to the Caribbean Heart Institute of the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) …. The doctors recommended that my mother travel to Trinidad for emergency surgery since there is no facility in Guyana equipped to carry out the needed intervention.”
Austin explained that her mother is presently in Trinidad initiating the process.
“My mother is currently undergoing initial tests at a medical institution in Trinidad and Tobago, but we haven’t acquired the money we need for her surgery,” Wong added.
According to medical documents seen by this newspaper, doctors detected extensive blood density flooding the basal cisterns and several other sections of Wong’s brain.
Members of the public can contribute to Wong’s surgery by making deposits to account number #2456200 at Republic Bank.
