Most of the people who received aid last week, came to ask for help due to health reasons. Some of them needed medicine for themselves or their family members. Others must undergo surgical procedures; such is the case of Rosa Lopez Barriga, who needs visual examinations to determine if she has glaucoma.
Some people are seeking help for the first time and there are others who come regularly, such as Teresa Orellana, a 45 year old woman who suffers from epilepsy, she cannot work and must take daily medication.
Others who benefited from donations were Rufino Ramirez, who requested a grant to have done a dental treatment, Katty Cucalón, who needs to have surgery to remove tumors in her ovaries. Angela Macias, Emperatriz Valverde, and Francisco Alarcón also received donations for the purchase of medicines.
