The family of 20-year-old Cassie Rosemary, who sustained multiple injuries in a shooting incident last Friday night at Marc, Bexon, is appealing for financial support to cover her medical expenses.
Rosemary was ambushed by shooters during the attack, which claimed the life of 22-year-old Emen Emmanuel, also of Marc.
One of Rosemary’s relatives, Merlinda Adrien, spoke to St Lucia Times about her condition and the need for funds to support her treatment.
Rosemary suffered a gunshot wound to the shoulder, with the bullet travelling to her neck and breaking a bone. Another bullet struck her hip, causing spinal damage, while a third hit her arm. She also sustained a head injury after falling during the attack.
“She is stable; she has movement in her face, but her body is still numb,” Adrien disclosed.
She added that Rosemary requires medications and medical supplies costing approximately $22 000 before doctors can proceed with surgery.
Adrien noted that the money is only for initial supplies and medications, as the full cost of surgery is yet to be determined.
“Everything has to be paid before they do the surgery. When we buy the things, they doing the surgery,” she said.
The family has set up a GoFundMe account but is currently experiencing issues with the link. Anyone willing to assist can contact Adrien directly at 1 (758) 726-0573.
Plans are also underway for a fundraising event in February, with details to be announced soon. Updates will be provided once their plans are finalised.
