Hospital holds newborn as collateral!

SEEKING US$404 to rescue this newborn and return her to her mother.
Bunso Maryan is Director of the Biliran chapter of World Sisters United. She is a single mom who lives in a nipa hut with no electricity or running water. She lives with her parents in a very traditional life in a very remote island region of the Philippines. Her father is too old to work and she has been the breadwinner in her family since she was 14. I recruited her two years ago for WSU and have helped her leave her sweatshop job in cyber sex. Maryan just gave birth to a slightly premature baby with health difficulties. She just got stuck with a medical bill where the hospital won't give her baby back until she pays the bill! I was astounded when I heard that. This sounds like kidnapping to me but apparently its common practice there. In the Philippines when you can't pay your bill you can't leave the hospital. We saw that in the earlier blog about Glen. But to keep a newborn infant from its mother somehow pushes beyond the boundaries of civil. So there you have it, hospitals holding babies as collateral for the hospital bill. Please help us find 16.5K peso (US$404) Contact me at larriji@gmail.com if you can help this young mother get her baby back. God bless. L
