A heartbreaking story from Cochrane, Alberta, where a family is campaigning for a 24/7 urgent care facility after their daughter's death. Everest Velasco-Raralio, a four-year-old, tragically passed away after her condition worsened overnight, and her parents believe the lack of immediate medical care played a role.
A heartbroken Cochrane family is sharing their pain in hopes the loss of their little girl will be a catalyst for change. The 4-year-old was rushed to urgent care in Cochrane , only to find it closed. As Elissa Carpenter reports, her family wonders what might have happened if it was open 24/7.“She was the sweetest little girl. She loved being with her siblings. The most loving person, always giving hugs – spreading light and love and joy wherever she went.
” That’s how Neil Rarailo and Emilly Velaseo of Cochrane, Alta. remember their four-year-old daughter Everest.Everest Velasco-Raralio is remembered by her family as “the sweetest girl” who loved the colour pink, unicorns, flowers, her family, and especially her dog.“She would come running straight for me — a beeline right to me — Da Da – she’d give me a big hug and tell me how much she missed me.”The family of four-year-old Everest Velasco-Raralio is sharing the story of their daughters death in hopes it will help in the campaign for a 24 hour urgent care centre in Cochrane.But their beautiful little girl had her life cut short in late October, 2024 and her family hopes it will prompt changes to the availability of urgent medical care in the town, located about 20 kilometres northwest of Calgary. After spending time with friends and family at a Halloween event, the next morning Everest started feeling sick with what her father thought were cold symptoms.I was giving her regular doses of her Ventolin puffers throughout the day and she was responding positively to it,” said Rarailo.I listened to her lungs with my stethoscope. She seemed okay — pretty clear. So I thought, you know, I’ll give you a warm bath and hopefully open up some of your congestion, your airways. And so we did that.”I asked you, can you breathe? And she’s shaking her head no,” said Rarail
