SINGAPORE - A woman suffering from Brain Aneurysm, or most commonly known as a clot in the brain, lies in a critical condition in the intensive care unit (ICU).
Ms Kawaljeet Kaur who requires multiple operations to survive this ordeal recently underwent one on May 3 "as a lifesaving measure", reported Stomp.
The foreign worker who hails from India, Punjab, is said to be working in Singapore to support her brother in school and her bedridden father.
Her case was first highlighted by Mr Kurade Bhagwant in an email to online citizen journalism website Stomp. It is unclear what Mr Bhagwant's relation to Ms Kaur is.
Mr Bhagwant said in his email that Ms Kaur's insurance coverage under the Foreign Domestic Worker's plan is only limited to $15,000 but total hospitalisation fees are estimated to cost between $50,000 to $100,000.
He is appealing to members of the public to donate to ensure Ms Kaur receives the best treatment. Mr Bhagwant added that he and his associates have approached a number of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and social service units but were unable to secure any financial assistance so far.
He said: "We are a small group and as you can see we are working on multiple fronts. We try our best to respond to as many calls and messages possible, but at times it is difficult. We sincerely apologise if we are unable to take your call or responded to your message."
For clarification and other matters, call : +65 9130 2946
A Facebook page has been set up to highlight Ms Kaur's condition as well as to appeal for funds.
