COVID-19 has been a devastating tragedy to many family members especially the elderly. We have seen this first hand with our Grandmother, Margarita Ramos. We trusted the Doctors at the Cleveland Clinic to treat our grandmother because of their access to various treatments. We specifically asked Dr. Rai, the medical director at the Cleveland Clinic ICU, if they would consider her for the ECMO treatment. A treatment that allows the lungs to recover from the damage caused by COVID-19. After persistently asking the doctors to consider her for the treatment, they responded by saying we are not there yet. After crucial time has passed and Margarita's health declined we were hopeful that they would finally move forward with the ECMO treatment. We met with the doctors and they stated she is not a candidate because of her age, weight and oxygenation. As we persisted they continued to mention age again and again. Margarita has had no kidney failure, heart failure or any other medical condition that would deem her unfit for this procedure.
Margarita Ramos, alongside her husband Saul Ramos have been active members of our community for over 30 years. Creating programs to feed, and house the homeless and rehabilitate addicts. For many years, their successful prison program has not only helped inmates while incarcerated but has also played a vital part in their functional Integration back into society. Countless inmates are now outstanding contributors to society because of the tireless dedication of Saul and Margarita Ramos to our city.
People fly from around the country to be healed at the Cleveland Clinic. We expect nothing less for one of our very own.The Cleveland Clinic should not consider how much life she has lived, but how much life she has left to give.
What can you do to help?
Please let us know if there is a hospital with lesser criteria that would take in a vulnerable demographic such as the elderly.
We want the Cleveland Clinic, or any other hospital to know we are watching and to re-consider their strict criteria that only favors the young. Please sign and help us share Margarita Ramos story!
This is a matter of life! Death is not an option.

COVID-19 ha sido una tragedia devastadora para muchos miembros de la familia, especialmente los ancianos. Lo hemos visto de primera mano con nuestra abuela, Margarita Ramos. Confiamos en los médicos de la Cleveland Clinic para tratar a nuestra abuela debido a su acceso a varios tratamientos. Le preguntamos específicamente a el Dr. Rai, director medico de la ICU de Cleveland Clinic, si la considerarían para el tratamiento con ECMO. Un tratamiento que permite que los pulmones se recuperen del daño causado por COVID-19. Después de pedir persistentemente a los médicos que la consideraran para el tratamiento, respondieron diciendo que todavía no habíamos llegado a ese punto. Después de que pasó un tiempo crucial y la salud de Margarita se deterioró, teníamos la esperanza de que finalmente pudieran seguir adelante con el tratamiento de ECMO. Nos reunimos con los médicos y nos dijeron que no es candidata por su edad, peso y oxigenación. Mientras insistíamos, continuaron mencionando la edad una y otra vez. Margarita no ha tenido insuficiencia renal, insuficiencia cardíaca o cualquier otra condición médica que la considere no apta para este procedimiento.
Margarita Ramos, junto a su esposo Saul Ramos, han sido miembros activos de nuestra comunidad por más de 30 años. Creando programas para alimentar y albergar a personas sin hogar y rehabilitar adictos. Durante muchos años, su exitoso programa penitenciario no solo ha ayudado a los reclusos mientras estaban encarcelados, sino que también ha desempeñado un papel vital en su integración funcional de regreso a la sociedad. Innumerables reclusos son ahora destacados contribuyentes a la sociedad por la incansable dedicación de Saúl y Margarita Ramos a nuestra ciudad.
La gente vuela de todo el país para ser curada en Cleveland Clinic. No esperamos menos para uno de los nuestros. La Cleveland Clinic no debe considerar cuánta vida ha vivido, sino cuánta vida le queda para dar.
¿Qué puedes hacer para ayudar?
Háganos saber si hay un hospital con un criterio menor que acepte a un grupo demográfico vulnerable como los ancianos.
Queremos que la Cleveland Clinic o cualquier otro hospital, sepa que estamos observando y reconsidere su criterio estricto que solo favorece a los más jóvenes. ¡Por favor firme y ayúdenos a compartir la historia de Margarita Ramos!
¡Es una cuestión de vida! La muerte no es una opción.

I truly never imagined that 250 people would connect with my grandmother's story in this way. It is overwhelming to see so many of you looking out for her, and I am deeply humbled by this support.

I checked the page this morning and saw that over one hundred people have joined us in asking for my grandmother to receive care. I am genuinely stunned by this response and truly believe this is only happening because you all keep caring enough to look at her story.

I've known Margarita Rosmos over 40 years, she has been like a mother to me, she has been a person that has been willing to help other in need and also the community. I have never heard a NO from her, now she the one in need and she deserve all the treatment that she needs and you have to offer. God bless everyone in her care
Margarita Ramos is an outstanding human being. She was the cornerstone of my rehabilitation from drug addiction. She help hundreds of women and men like I. Please help Margarita Ramos. Thank you.
Stereo typing shouldn’t be allowed in the eso Al field. Every single person deserves every opportunity available to live their life. As a medical professional it’s your sworn duty to do all you can to save an individuals life. So we urge you to do what you signed up to do. Save a life! We don’t expect anything less.
Margarita deserves the best treatment available and she still has so much to give to the community and her age should not be an obstacle, I believe Cleveland Clinic is the best Hospital in the Country and we are asking to do the right thing and give her a chance to live .
This treatment should be administered to any person no mater their age, if so then It would be discrimination against an-elderly person.
No una mas no una menos peliemos por nuestros ancianos
Mi más sincero pésame hacia la familia Ramos esto es algo que no tiene palabras no hay una explicación por qué no le dieron la atención que necesitaba qué diferencia hay entre una persona joven y una persona adulta si es una vida que se puede salvar había probabilidades solamente se tenían que recurrir a todos los recursos que la clínica daba y ellos no tienen que negarle a nadie. Lo que se requería en estos momentos para su salud de nuestra amada Margarita Ramos qué tiempos estamos viviendo unos tiempos que nosotros sabemos que son los últimos porque ya viene el maestro y nos regocijamos porque sabemos que nuestra amada hermana está allá con el señor esperando las bodas del Cordero Dios los bendiga grandemente

What was the purpose of shutting down the country at the onset of the pandemic? Was it NOT to save the elderly? Forget the bureaucracies and cut the red tapes and start saving lives. Surely billions have been made and these institutions are not in the RED. Please HELP save Margarita Ramos. God bless the Ramos family.
