With her health in jeopardy, the family fears for her safety and is desperate for any information that could lead to her return.

Melissa Hills lost a lung due to an infection. She was last seen on June 26 when she asked a neighbour to call her an ambulance because she was struggling to breathe.

But by the time the person went to fetch their phone, Melissa was gone.

Her heartbroken sister Nuraan Delgada explained that the family knows something is terribly wrong, because Melissa would always contact her or their mother.
