Josefa is a 43-year-old woman who lives in Guatemala. For the last six months, she has been experiencing severe dermatitis. Because of this, Josefa has huge ulcerations, or breaks in her skin, as well as large scaling on both of her legs.
The itchiness and pain keeps Josefa up at night, and topical ointments and medications aren’t helping. With further medical care, including a 6-12 month course of immunosuppressive medication under close monitoring, Josefa should be able to see marked improvement in her symptoms.
“Josefa is a great woman who has put up with this condition for six months with a smile on her face,” our hospital partner writes. “However, it is starting to take its toll. She is exhausted and at her wit’s end. She needs our help to get this condition behind her.”
With $500 we can cover the cost of Josefa’s medication, lab testing and monitoring as well as the cost of transportation associated with care. Let’s help Josefa get the relief she needs.
