You may have already heard that Mrs. Preeti Maheshwari (pictured below), an expat schoolteacher in Shekou, Shenzhen, China, has been hospitalized since January 11th of this year, at the Nanshan People's Hospital (ICU Ward).

She has been diagnosed with Acute Pneumonia a result of the deadly virus , Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome (MODS), and Septic Shock. She is on life support and critical care. She is a primary school arts teacher a mother to two adorable school going daughters. The doctors have advised the family to prepare a substantial amount of money to continue and provide treatment. As she is an Indian in China she has no access to public health care and we are unable to generate fundraising for her using China fundraising platforms as they are only for Chineese national. 

There are quite a few articles being published regarding Preeti's situation, that according to the family contain some inaccuracies. This page is managed by her family in India and we are in close communication with her husband and are receiving information from the hospital regarding her condition, bills, and search for a treatment, and have verified the information presented here.

She has been unconscious since January 11th, and she is currently on External Lungs (Blue Box), Ventilator, Dialysis and she is undergoing a Blood Purification Process. Her situation overall is very critical.

Preeti is a loving member of the community with many friends and supporters who have so far already helped to raise over 100,000 rmb; however, she is still in critical condition and the hospital bills are racking up fast.

She is blessed with two daughters (Prashansa & Navya) who study here in Shekou. Her Husband, Anshuman Gola is self-employed and runs a trading business in Zhongshan, Guzhen City.

As of January 15th, her medical bill was 164,454.32 rmb and is increasing daily. Her husband is meeting with doctors regulary, and has been asked to prepare at least another 700,000 to 800,000 rmb for her treatment, so we still have a long way to go.

Whether you know Mrs. Preeti or not, and are debating making a donation to help, please consider that something like this can happen to anyone and helping to fund the identification of the cause of her illness and the search for an effective treatment is in all of our interests.
