First generation Chinese American Le Le Tong just recently retired was stricken while visiting her hometown in China. While there, she fainted and was admitted to a local hospital where they found bleeding in the brain and had emergency surgery. She is in a local ill-equipped hospital outside of a small, rural village in China. Her family is raising fund for international medical transportation. Unfortunately, her insurance does not cover any of the expenses. The cost to medi-vac Mrs. Tong back to the US for treatment is around $72,000. The family thus far has gone into debt with medical expenses paid in cash to the hospital in China.

On Feb 23, a benefit Lion Dance throughout Chinatown will be held to benefit the family. Please come down to the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association, 62 Mott St. on 2/23 to give what you can. You can also make a donation via click-through link.

Her daughter says:

We have simply run out of options. The US Embassy said they can’t help. Medicare & Medicaid does not cover the costs of repatriation. No one in any Federal, State, or local agency has been able to provide us with any information about how we can bring our Mom home.

Ultimately, the purpose of this fundraiser is to bring our mother home to get the treatment that she so desperately requires in order to recover at the most optimal speed. We believe, with a joint effort – together, we should be able to save our mother. Every little bit counts and your generosity is greatly appreciated. Hopefully, with your help – we can get her home before it’s too late.

Please help save our mother.
