[News Boquete] New Mother urgently in need of medication

My young Panamanian friend recently had a baby.  Unfortunately, the  physicians attending her at birth failed to correctly and cleanly  close the Cesarean section they had to perform.  This resulted in an  accumulation of blood and infection and a nightmare to follow.  After  two weeks in the hospital with high doses of antibiotics she was sent  home  because it was too dangerous for her to remain in the hospital  because of the pervasive bacterial contamination. She was provided  with a machine which was to drain the accumulating blood and pus, but  the drain was inadequate and she has become sicker and weaker.  The  family cannot afford the very expensive antibiotics and social  security does not provide them or the pain medications she so  desperately needs.  They have frantically taken her back to the  hospital because they are justifiably terrified that she will not  survive at home.  This is an added burden as transportation costs for  her aunt who must be with her.  Now she has been sent home again and  is getting weaker and having difficulty breathing.  I have given all I  can financially and hope that some of you will be able to help.  We  are not talking about a large amount of money.  About $500 would cover  her needs at this point.  Whatever is given I will portion out equally  and return to you the portion that is more than what is needed.    To say that the Panamanian health system is overburdened does not come  close to the actual state of affairs.  Please call or email me if you  would like to help. It is not much for one person if many contribute a  few dollars.  Thank you to all who wish to help.  Time is of the  essence as she is in serious trouble.
