Graelin’s Story
posted (May 28, 2010)
The plight of Greilin Carcamo that we aired on Tuesday's newscast drew attention from many concerned viewers who wanted to help this young mother. As we reported, she needed a catheter installed in her stomach so that she could access dialysis because all her blood vessels had collapsed from over-use.

Well there is good news to report tonight: with the help of Belize Healthcare Partners and other contributors who came forward she has gone to Guatemala to get a new catheter installed.

After the procedure - providing there are no foul up's - as happened before - she will be able to get dialysis in Belize. Both of the 23 year old's kidneys have failed since she started having kidney problems two years ago.
