Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic — The family of Nicolás Viloria Mejía needs more than RD$100,000 to cover his health expenses and take him home.

The child, just four years old, has been hospitalized in a medical center for more than a week due to a diagnosis of hydrocephalus secondary to cerebral hemorrhage and structural epilepsy.

Despite this, his mother, Dorys Mejía, reported that, in addition to covering medical expenses, the child also requires several supplies for his home care. She stated that he needs a nebulizer, hypertonic saline solution, a bronchodilator called Sulbulin, and a prescribed protein supplement.

After his health condition worsened, Nicolás has required surgery in an Intensive Care Unit since last Thursday, but his medical insurance does not cover it.

During the hospitalization process, she required medications, a gastric button, and a tracheostomy cannula, supplies that can only be acquired outside the country, the mother reported.

His family needs support.

Despite Nicolás’s unfortunate diagnosis, his family must also take care of his two triplet brothers, who suffer from global neurodevelopmental delay and need speech and behavioral occupational therapy.
