Teresa is a 40 year old woman of Haitian decent who makes her home in a small Batey outside of La Romana. A Batey is a small community that thrives off the sugar harvesting industry. Teresa sells used clothing and cosmetics thanks to the micro loan she acquired through Esperanza. She was recently able to receive a Pap exam for the first time in 40 years thanks to your donation of $25.
Your donation provided Teresa with the exam itself as well as the analysis of the results. She will be informed of her results next week, which will provide her the ability to take action if it need be. She now knows the importance of cervical health and why it is vital for her to stay healthy for her three children.
She is extremely grateful for your gift of improved knowledge and health and wants us to say “Gracias!” Mike and Suzanne!
