Couple Cause Outrage in Mexico After Setting Up Crowdfunding Page to Help Them Leave ‘Hell Hole’
5th April 2016
A couple from New Zealand have caused an outcry after they described Mexico as a “hell hole”.
David and Nicky Beard travelled to Mexico to have triplings – three babies born from one set of sperm and one egg, but carried by different surrogate mothers.
After running into financial difficulties, they publicly appealed for money, making claims to media about the “cockroach-infested hospital” in a “dangerous country” they described as “third world”.
“We have spent every cent we have left to bring these three beautiful Kiwi babies into the world. We now need to get ourselves and the three babies out of this dangerous country and back to the safety of New Zealand,” the couple told the Gay NZ website.
Their friend set up a Give A Little online donations page to help them return to New Zealand, which has raised over NZ$28,000.
Funny thing about that … hellholes apparently don’t like being called hellholes. Who knew?
