Family of hospitalized Lethbridge man in Thailand reach out for support

Lethbridge resident Dakoda Solorzano suffered 2 heart attacks in Thailand and is recuperating in a private clinic in Bangkok.

The family of a Lethbridge man is reaching out to the public for help after he suffered a series of medical emergencies while travelling in Thailand.

Dakoda Solorzano suffered two heart attacks.

At one point, his heart stopped for several minutes, causing significant complications.

He is now in intensive care at a private Bangkok cardiovascular and neurology clinic.

The medical expenses, plus the cost to transport him home, have been quoted as up to $400,000, far beyond what the family can manage on its own.

A GoFundMe page set up by loved ones has since raised around $74,000, but more funds are needed.
