Need of financial help  21 January 2022

John Lobo 69, came from India to New Zealand to visit his grandson Kenan now 3years old and to help his daughter Karen Barco and her husband Daryl Barco, both busy with their jobs. In January 2020, John suffered a heart attack and had to be rushed to the Waitakere Hospital. He had no insurance and was slapped with $23473 for charges of services. For surgery he was sent to the Auckland Hospital where for the surgery and other services he had to pay $40,725. With is gigantic amount of $64,000, the Barcos are at a total loss not knowing what to do. The Barcos make just $1500 with a mortgage of $650. They are struggling to make ends meet. After posting on Givealittle they were able to receive 37.786.59 from generous donors. Besides for nutrition and medication they incurred expenses more than $5,500. They now have an outstanding amount of $32000 to be paid to the hospital. We appeal to people to consider our case and please help us at your earliest. Thank you. God bless.
