“By the time I thought, ‘OK, I absolutely have to go to the hospital now,’ we called an ambulance, and it took hours to find a hospital that would be able to take me, or anyone.”
“They’d been rejecting people all night. And my case was quite serious – we stuck it out for a little bit longer, and we were lucky enough to get accepted by a hospital after a bit of a standoff,” she said, becoming emotional.
“Everyone was amazing, all the front-liners are amazing,” Ruby added.

“It’s just… it doesn’t need to be this hard for everyone and I just can’t imagine all the other people that are having way more, way, way more serious situations happening right now.”
“I’m just sending everyone love… I love you all and take care of yourselves.”
