Ana Maria is a mother from Guatemala. Ana Maria lives in Guatemala's rural western highlands with her husband and three children. She works in her household, preparing food, cleaning, and taking care of her children.
Ana Maria needs to undergo a hysterectomy, a procedure in which surgeons will remove her uterus. Ana Maria was experiencing pain and discomfort in her pelvic region, for which she sought medical advice with our doctors. After an evaluation, Ana Maria was diagnosed with uterine myomas, which must be cured surgically.
Fortunately, Ana Maria is receiving help from our medical partner, Wuqu' Kawoq. She is scheduled to undergo a hysterectomy on May 16. Now, she needs help raising $817 to fund this procedure. After surgery Ana Maria will no longer experience pain, and she will be able to return to her family healthy again.
Ana Maria says, "I am worried about my health, but more than anything I am grateful for this help, for no one has ever supported me with medical attention in this way before. I am ready to do anything necessary for the sake of my health."
