Ingrid is a 22-year-old woman who is expecting her first child. Ingrid lives with her family of five in Guatemala.
At 41 weeks pregnant, Ingrid has been experiencing generalized tissue swelling, high blood pressure, and irregular breathing. When Ingrid was referred to our medical partner, Wuqu’ Kawoq, she was told she had pre-eclampsia. Ingrid’s family is worried about her health and the wellbeing of her child.
Our medical partner is requesting $543 to fund treatment. On April 26, Ingrid will receive a full diagnostic workup for her condition. Doctors will monitor her breathing and blood pressure in order to prevent further complications.
Ingrid says, “Thank you for the help I have been brought. I ask that God protect you, for I know that it is difficult to earn money and donate it to people like me. May God repay you. I thank you very much.”
