Carmelina is a sweet and beautiful 14-year-old girl from Guatemala who suffered from a brain injury when she was very young. This has caused permanent damage to her body, and she experiences seizures every day. Carmelina has a loving family, but they cannot afford medical care. In addition, living in a rural village has made it impossible for her to receive the care she needs.
With your help, Carmelina will see a doctor for the first time in her life. She will receive special and aggressive attention for her seizure disorder, be given proper medication, and will get set up with a laboratory to detect malnutrition and any other underlying conditions. Once her seizures are under control, Carmelina will then receive physical therapy to help her rehabilitate.
For $1,250, we can turn Carmelina's life around and finally give her the medical attention she has deserved.
