Winston-Salem, NC -- A 600-pound woman is fighting for her life from a hospital bed and desperately needs help raising money to get the help she needs.
We first told you about 47-year-old Sharon Purcell on Wednesday. She's been turned down by hundreds of rehabilitation centers because she's too large, but WFMY News 2's Ashley Smith sat down with Sharon again today. Purcell's family found a clinic in Illinois that will help, but that move requires a special ambulance that costs 6500 dollars. If they can't come up with 3250 dollars by Monday, Purcell will lose her spot.
Sharon's daugher Elizabeth told WFMY News 2 that her mom left early Monday morning to head to the Rock Island Nursing and Rehabilitation Clinic in Illinois.
If you would like to help Sharon Purcell reserve her spot in Illinois, you can donate to the "Sharon Gardner Purcell Trust Fund" at any Wachovia Bank.
