This is Lucía (FA 259), the grandmother of one of our sponsored students. She lives alone in a community about two hours away from Panajachel, but has been staying with her family here since she was beaten and suffered injuries to her head. Since the incident, Lucía hasn't spoken, so no one really knows exactly what happened. She was operated on, but is now doing very badly and needs to be treated urgently in Guatemala City. 
This is Maximiliana (A 26), the grandmother of three of our sponsored students. She has recently fallen twice in her home where she lives alone and is now staying with her daughter. Now, she is unable to eat, very disoriented, in pain, and unable to get out of bed. The doctors here have said they are not able to help her anymore and that she urgently needs to go to Guatemala City to receive treatment that will alleviate her suffering.
To send these two women urgently to Guatemala City in an ambulance and begin receiving treatment, they need $200. Their families are doing all they can to care for them at home, but are unable to help them with these economic needs. Please consider helping these two grandmothers who have spent their whole lives caring for their families and now need to be cared for themselves!
