A GoFundMe page has been set up for Mark Patton, the star of A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge, to help him pay for medical bills. Peter Valderrama, his manager, posted on behalf of Mark:
Mark is currently in a Mexican hospital where they speak very little English- and they are completely overcome with covid cases there. . He needs to be transported to an American hospital down there where he can be receive more specialized care in a safer setting. For this, we humbly need to ask for help.
Mark himself asked in a statement below:
Basically I am asking for help I will not be embarrassed.. I just want to be healthy and at home with family. I need to move to American Hospital in Mexico where they can give me the treatment i desperately need. The American Hospital is $300 dollars a day with nurses, doctors and meds. The Mexican hospital are overwhelmed with Covid and I am too compromised to remain here.I feel very stupid for being overly optimistic. I thought I would be flying to Chicago today but I promise that when I am well enough to fly to USA I will. I have faced these medical challenges before and I know I have a lot of fight left in me- but the last few years have been crippling for me financially. I have always lived Month to month and I have been struggling with medical visits since October.If anyone is able to contribute it would mean a life saving option for me to be recovering in a place that can cater to my condition.
Thank you all.
Love,
Mark
