Meet Emiliana, a 67-year-old woman from Guatemala who is highly motivated in keeping her diabetes and high blood pressure under control. She has a very supportive family who accompanies her to all of her medical visits but, due to recent changes to their financial situation, she can no longer afford her medications.
While symptoms of chronic diseases like diabetes and hypertension are often insidious, they cause significant health burden and can become life-threatening if left unmanaged. Emiliana needs our help to bring her symptoms of dizziness, frequent urination, weight loss, and other diabetes and blood pressure related problems under control.
For $300, Emiliana will receive intensive endocrinology consultation and insulin titration with weekly home visits from nutritionists and nurses to get her diabetes under control quickly. Thereafter, she will receive ongoing long term followup through a regular diabetes management program. Let’s make sure Emiliana has access to the care and medicines she needs to live a high quality life with her family!
