An American couple tragically met their demise while staying in a Mexican hotel room. The story took an unexpected turn when the paramedic siblings who responded to the incident also fell ill. Now, these brave individuals find themselves burdened with medical bills. To help alleviate their financial strain, a fundraiser has been set up for Fernando Valencia Sotelo and Grisel Valencia Sotelo, who valiantly attempted to revive Abby Lutz, 28, and John Heathco, 41. The cause has already gathered over $28,000, with a goal of $30,000. The funds raised will go towards the siblings’ medical expenses as they receive care at a private hospital. The siblings’ harrowing experience is described in the fundraiser, where it is explained that they were able to escape the hotel room just in time before Grisel collapsed. Fernando managed to administer oxygen to both himself and his sister once they reached their ambulance. Despite their efforts, the Sotelo siblings are still feeling unwell and are concerned about potential long-term health effects. Unfortunately, they are unable to afford the considerable out-of-pocket expenses associated with their treatment. The Firefighters and Paramedics of Pescadero, the non-profit organization the siblings volunteer for, relies solely on donations and has not received any compensation for their medical bills. The organizer of the fundraiser, local artist and volunteer Hilary Chandler, emphasized that the siblings had reservations about seeking treatment at the private hospital due to the anticipated costs. However, it was the only facility that could provide them with the necessary care. Along with covering their medical expenses, the funds raised will also compensate the siblings for lost work time. Additional contributions will support the volunteer organization. Stay informed with CBS NEWS by creating a free account or logging in to access more features.
