“I don’t have anywhere else to go,” explains 30-year-old Veronica. “I hope you can help me with my condition.” Veronica is a Kaqchikel-speaking Mayan woman who lives in Guatemala with her husband and three small children. On the days she feels well, Veronica likes to prepare meals for her family, clean her house and help her husband in the fields where he works as a farmer. These basic activities are becoming increasingly difficult for Veronica due to her continuing weight loss, fatigue, numbness and tingling in her feet. Seven years ago, Veronica was diagnosed with severe diabetes, and her blood sugar levels have been uncontrolled. She requires insulin to manage her diabetes, but has been unable to afford this on her family’s limited income. Veronica recently sought help at a public clinic, but was told her diabetes was too advanced and her case was too complicated. “We have a lot of experience with severe diabetes, and for us, Veronica’s case is not too complicated or severe,” report our partners at Wuqu’ Kawoq. For $450, we can fund comprehensive diabetes care and treatment for Veronica in partnership with Wuqu’ Kawoq. Let’s help Veronica manage her diabetes and regain her strength and energy as she cares for her family!
