Several North Bergen-based organizations made Christmas donations today for a family reeling from tragedy this year after Estefania Mesa fell into a coma while giving birth at the Hoboken University Medical Center this summer.
“Estefania can’t be with us right now at the moment, but when gets up again, starts walking and talking, when she’s strong, I’ll let her know all the good stuff you guys have done. Thank you so much,” said Eduardo Argueta, the partner of Mesa, who brought their five-month old daughter Emma to Township Hall this afternoon.
Mesa gave birth to Emma via Cesarean section on July 20th, and according to Argueta, the new mother went without oxygen for over nine minutes, leaving her with brain damage.
