Say hello to Irma, a 15-year-old girl from Guatemala! “Irma is a very bright student. Her mom is proud of how much she has learned in school and hopes that she will go on to be a successful teacher herself,” says our medical partner, Wuqu’ Kawoq (WK).
Unfortunately, “for the last few months, Irma has been having devastating seizures. They are not that frequent, just once every 2 weeks or so. But when they happen she loses consciousness, falls over, and remains out for about an hour. This is causing major disruptions at school, and she is now afraid to go to school,” explains WK.
For $745, Irma will receive the tests to determine where her seizures are coming from as well as the treatment plan required to stop them from occurring in the future.
“This is so embarrassing for me. I just want to be better so that my friends won’t laugh at me and so I can get back to school,” explains Irma. Let’s help Irma get healthy again and back in school for good!
