Meet Irma, a 17-year-old young woman who lives with her parents in Guatemala. According to our medical partner, Wuqu’ Kawoq, “Irma is in the middle of high school and enjoys studying and hopes to pursue a professional career.”
“Irma has a large mass in her right breast,” Wuqu’ Kawoq continues. “She has a family history of breast cancer and she needs a workup to evaluate the mass and exclude the possibility of breast cancer.”
$310 covers a breast biopsy for Irma, which will allow her to know if she is healthy or if future treatment is needed. “This is scary for me,” Irma shares. “I feel better knowing that you are helping me figure out what is going on.”
