Emma, originally from Poconichim, Chenalhó, is 2 years old. At one month of age, she was diagnosed with cleft lip palate by doctors from Sanando Heridas.
Our health team, in addition to providing her with medical care, carried out various accompaniment actions so that she could be evaluated by a specialist doctor. On March 4, 2020, Emma was treated at the Pediatric Specialty Hospital in Tuxtla Gutiérrez, but her consultations were suspended by the hospital due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Months after consultations at the hospital were regularized, the surgery was successfully performed last October. A second palate surgery is still pending, which will be performed later while Emma recovers. Throughout the process, Emma's family has received follow-up medical advice and consultations  from the Sanando Heridas health team in her mother tongue (tsotsil), we hope that Emma will level her weight soon and can continue with her treatment.
Since we started our campaign in GlobalGiving, 11 months ago, we have received 17,015 USD ($340,300) from 162 donations, to support our project, we are missing 4,985 USD ($99,700) to meet the proposed goal. With these resources we have been able to provide 680 medical consultations (with translation into Tsotsil) to an average of 340 boys and girls, in a state of vulnerability and poverty, including medical diagnoses and necessary medications.


Success stories like Emma's can be achieved thanks to your valuable donations, Thank you very much!

Emma, originaria de Poconichim, Chenalhó, tiene 2 años. Al mes de edad fue diagnosticada con labio paladar hendido por médicos de Sanando Heridas. Nuestro equipo de salud, además de brindarle atención médica, realizó diversas acciones de acompañamiento para que fuera valorada por un médico especialista. El 4 de marzo del 2020, Emma fue atendida en el Hospital de Especialidades Pediátricas en Tuxtla Gutiérrez, pero sus consultas fueron suspendidas por el hospital debido a la pandemia de Covid-19. Meses después de regularizadas las consultas en el hospital, la cirugía se realizó exitosamente el pasado mes de octubre. Aún queda pendiente una segunda cirugía de paladar, la cual, se realizará más adelante en lo que Emma se recupera. En todo el proceso la familia de Emma ha recibido asesoría y consultas médicas por parte del equipo de salud de Sanando Heridas en su lengua materna (tsotsil), esperamos que Emma nivele su peso pronto y pueda seguir con su tratamiento.Desde que iniciamos nuestra campaña en GlobalGiving, hace 11 meses, hemos recibido 17,015 USD ($340,300) de 162 donaciones, para apoyar nuestro proyecto, nos faltan 4,985 USD ($99,700) para cumplir la meta propuesta. Con estos recursos hemos podido otorgar 680 consultas médicas (con traducción al tsotsil) a un promedio de 340 niños y niñas, en estado de vulnerabilidad y pobreza, incluidos diagnósticos médicos y medicamentos necesarios.

¡Casos de éxito como el de Emma se pueden lograr gracias a tus valiosos donativos, Muchas gracias!
