Alekya Siddula says in a GoFundMe that her mother, Radha Siddula, came to visit her newborn baby and “suddenly collapsed” on Tuesday, April 4.
“Ambulatory Services quickly responded and did CPR as she suffered from Brain Aneurysm and Cardiac Arrest back to back,” reads the fundraiser.
The new grandmother was then taken to RWJ Hospital in Somerville, where her heart was stabilized, before being flown to the New Brunswick location for brain aneurysm treatment, which tragically proved unsuccessful.
“Unfortunately, my Mother was pronounced dead by Doctors on 04/05 because of excess internal bleeding in the Brain,” reads the campaign. “We are deeply mourning her demise as our lives turned upside down within a span of 24 hours.”
More than $25,100 had been raised in just one day on the campaign, which the family says will be used to relocate remains to India for Final Rituals.
“We want to ask your support for the medical and transportation expenses,” reads the campaign. “No amount is too small. Anything you can give will…tremendously help us.”
