Help pay medical costs in Paraguay
Donation protected
Hilda Ibarrola Otazu is a dedicated teacher who has spent her teaching career in Asuncion, Paraguay in its poorest barrio, working for the Fe y Alegria movement. She is a young mother with a son, and for many years would get up at 3am to travel to and from her work, which involved a three kilometre walk along dirt roads to arrive at the school “Ca’acupemi” in Bañado Norte. I met and lived with Hilda when I volunteered in the same barrio in 2009, and many times following that when I returned. She is a beautiful woman who gives everything of herself to her students. Late last year, she was diagnosed with a type
of blood cancer. Much of her treatment and care is paid for by insurance, but she currently needs support to fundraise for a PET scan, which costs around $2500. This amount is what early career teachers in Paraguay make in an entire year. Any small contribution you can make toward this gofundme will be greatly appreciated!
