Mother grieves loss of 17-y-o asthmatic daughter
Mar 1st, 2021 | Category: News & Features | 16:30MARCH 1, 2021: The only money Narda McKoy had in her purse was her 17-year-old daughter’s college tuition, but she would have spent every cent without hesitation Friday night for some oxygen at the University Hospital of the West Indies (UHWI), where she had pleaded her guts out for help for nearly two hours. No help came, McKoy said, and her daughter, Jalisa McGowan, who had ambitions of becoming a visual artist, slipped from her arms, turning her world upside down.
