Comrade in Myanmar needs help with hospital costs and is in a serious situation. Please donate if you can and share the link to this crowdfunder. This has been set up and is being run by comrades :
Since they began in 2007 The Rebel Riot have touched the hearts of hundreds of thousands of people. Over the past ten years or more, they have been making waves with their Food Not Bomb project, and in 2017 were brought over to the UK for a historic tour. Following the repression against the people of Myanmar by the military after the coup in 2021, Oakar, the bass player and Hnin, a vocalist on the last album, escaped to Thailand.
Last week Oakar became ill and found it hard to breathe. On Saturday he was admitted to the hospital with pneumonia and a pulmonary embolism. He is in ICU now.
The good news is he has been taken off the ventilator, had all the tubes removed and can breathe on his own, however because of the blood clots in his lungs he has to remain in the hospital until the medication has done its job and the blood clots dissolve, but this will take some time.
The bad news is the cost of treatment in the hospital has already reached 81,000 Thai Baht, which is almost £2,000 and over $2,000. Every day he is in hospital receiving life-saving treatment the costs continue to rise.
Once Oakar leaves the hospital he will have to go through a period of recovery and will be unable to work for a while.
Please donate whatever you can afford and help us reach our target.
Thankyou.
