Desire Family help Please

We wouldn't normally do this but it is and extenuating circumstance. We are doing this for his wife.


Unfortunately, during our last trip to RM there was a tragic accident. We were to meet two couples we know at the resort. One couple went two days early. On their second day, they had been at the hot tub and came back to rest. He slipped while sitting down on the bed and fell into the mirror. The mirror shattered and came down on his arm severing the artery. The RM staff helped greatly getting him medical attention and to the hospital, but the hospital is a distance from the resort. He underwent an 8 hour surgery and they restored his arm. He passed away from complications the next day we are not certain exactly if it was the blood loss or something else.

This was truly a freak accident but something that could have happened to any one of us. His wife is now experiencing issues with accessing most accounts that have his name on them without a translated death certificate. She has been told this can take a month. A GoFundMe has been set up for her. If as a part of the "Desire Family" the members here could make even a small donation it would help tremendously.

I just want to say Thank You once again for all the help from the members here on the Forum. It has really helped out.

Our Desire trips have been some really great vacations, but they are more than that. We have friends/family for years to come.

Thank you all so much!
