More bad news has arrived about the Olympic champion gymnast.
The legendary Olympic champion gymnast is in need of hospital treatment again after complications arose after her heart attack in the spring. The family started a fundraiser for the treatment of Henrietta Ónodi, but the amount is only growing slowly, and there are more and more worried voices.
Her fans are worried about Henrietta Ónodi. The 1992 Barcelona Olympic champion suffered a heart attack on March 24.
Despite the insurance, the amount of rehabilitation far exceeds the family's financial means, so Henrietta Ónodi's sister Barbara started a fundraiser on a social media site. According to the latest news, Henrietta had to be taken to the hospital again. Her sister, Barbara, posted on the collection page on August 10 that Henrietta had complications, which is why she needed emergency care.
So far, 33 thousand dollars have been collected for Henrietta Ónodi's treatment
The gymnast has been living in the United States since her retirement. She is divorced from her husband, former pentathlon athlete Jim Haley, and is raising her three children, Annabella, Sebastian and Christian, alone.
Thanks to her sister Barbara, fans receive continuous information about Henrietta's condition on the collection page.
Barbara also reported on the process of the heart attack rehabilitation and that Henrietta Ónodi is taking part in neurological, speech therapy and physical therapy development.
Then, on August 10, Barbara posted another post with troubling news:
"Henrietta had complications, so she was taken back to the emergency department from the place of rehabilitation. His pain has subsided, but his appetite has improved and he is taking his medication properly," he wrote.
Five hundred thousand dollars would be needed for Henrietta's treatment, of which only $34,812 has been collected so far. Many of the donors try to help with a name, and even more under the guise of anonymity. There are those who contributed a few dollars, but also those who contributed a thousand dollars to the gymnast's treatment, but more than 465 thousand dollars are still missing, which is a lot of money.
The collection is supported by Zsuzsa Csiztu from Hungary, the vice-president of the International Association of Sports Journalists (AIPS), Henrietta's former gymnast partner, who said that another channel is planned through which they will try to support the collection.
"Let's look for the right organization that is more efficient in collecting money. American rehabilitation is incredibly expensive, but Heni's treatment is important to us, we will do everything we can to raise the money," he said.
The situation is complicated by the fact that after the divorce, Henrietta was left alone, only her oldest child is of age, due to American regulations she is considered an immediate family member, therefore, according to current information, only she can make decisions regarding her mother and her illness.
Henrietta's illness is a huge burden on the family, so they take every opportunity to ask for help. Henrietta's sister Barbara ended her post by thanking everyone for their help so far.
"I ask everyone to pray for Henrietta!" he sent.
