Marla’s Tough Situation
posted (November 6, 2015)
Ladyville mother Marla Encalada is going through a very tough stretch. Her two daughters were knocked down in Ladyville - one of them, a 6 year old broke both sides of her pelvis - and received massive injury to her genitals. The child was operated on at KHMH, but the family claims the operation on the child's genitals was botched, and she was left in a bad way. She was transferred to the Belize Medical Associates - where the media spoke to her yesterday, off camera:...

Voice of: Marla Encalada, mother
"We rush here to a surgery to do over the same surgery that Karl Heusner Hospital did for her, so that they give her a stool bag. She is a state that she cannot move. She has a steel in her knee to bring back the pelvis together. It's very messed up for me. I don't have any assistance anywhere. Yet the government don't want to see me to know the critical condition that my kids are in. If you go in there to see the pain that my kids are in, not even you can stand to be in the room."

Insurance from the man who knocked her down is supposed to cover the costs, but Marla Encalada doesn't know if it will cover the full cost of the 35 thousand dollar surgery. Those wanting to help can contribute to account number 230822 at the Belize Bank. She is a single mother of three children, ages, 6, 9, and two months.
