Meet Santa, a 34-year-old woman from Guatemala, who lives with her husband and their three children. Santa enjoys taking care of her children and she performs chores around the house.
“Santa was recently diagnosed with diabetes after several months of severe fatigue and dizziness,” our medical partner Wuqu’ Kawoq tells us. “She needs emergency intervention to help get her symptoms under control.
