HELP - FRIENDS OF HELAINE HARTHCOCK

WEB SITE FOR - FRIENDS OF HELAINE HARTHCOCK

Created by Terry MacDonald on July 14, 2014 Lake Chapala Jalisco Mexico,  slightly past 4:30 pm on June 4, 2014 Helaine and Marvin Harthcock were returning home from a day in Guadalajara when, for reasons no one may ever know, their vehicle left the highway, rolled, and crashed into a concrete pole. Both Marvin and Helaine were unconscious and recall little of what happened. They were within 250 meters of the turn off to their home.

                                           
Thus - what otherwise should have been a happy day for the couple turned bleak, and the start of a long and difficult recovery process for Helaine. While Marvin was also injured and required medical attention, his injuries which required more tests and attention as well as stiches, were not life threatening, and he was released following a night in the Red Cross Clinic in Chapala. Helaine’s injuries were however much more serious and after initial care by the Red Cross staff she was rushed by ambulance to hospital in Guadalajara for treatment.

This in brief is Helaine’s story which we are sure many of you will already know, but which we wish to interject here for those who desire a little added history.

I am not at lakeside but know a support group will form to drive marvin back and forth to gdl.
While the medical issues are handled, can a nob mechanic type find out where the vehicle is being stored and go check to see if it was a tire blow out, and check the lug bolts see if they are broken from the impact or if it looks normal.
