Moises Castillo / AP. Firefighters transport a wounded resident.

A 7.4 earthquake struck Guatemala on Thursday, November 7th and at least 48 have already been reported dead.  Scores more are injured as aftershocks continue to hit the country.

We desperately need your help.  Thursday’s earthquake was the strongest earthquake to hit Guatemala since a 1976 temblor that killed 23,000.

CONTRIBUTE NOW!

Two volunteers from The University of Mary (Bismarck, ND) arrive to assist a family who’s home was severely damaged by the earthquake.

Educate a mother, save the life of a child

Silvia greets us at her front door with a smile and invites us to sit on the bed in her small but well-kept one-bedroom house where she lives with her husband and two little boys. We gently ask her to tell us about the birth of her youngest son, Jose Emanuel. Lowering her gaze, she smiles at the beautiful baby sitting in her lap. At the same time, a sadness flickers across her face as she begins to recount the all too recent battle to save the life of Jose Emanuel.

Jose Emanuel at 6 months, upon arriving at Casa Jackson

“Just a skeleton,” Sylvia thought, when she saw her baby boy for the first time on July 26, 2011. Jose Emanuel was born premature and with Down’s Syndrome and spent the first 18 days of his life in the hospital. He was released and sent home, but it was then that the complications really began. Sylvia and her husband didn’t understand anything about Down’s Syndrome, how to care for a baby with the condition, or how it was going to affect their lives and that of their newborn. Jose Emanuel wouldn’t eat, he never stopped crying, and his mother didn’t know what to do. His health quickly deteriorated and the family returned to the hospital and admitted Jose Emanuel into intensive care. The doctor took one look at her baby and told Sylvia that Jose Emanuel wouldn’t recover. His fever was so high that at one point he actually stopped breathing and the entire room thought he had passed away. They placed the baby in an ice bath and miraculously, Jose Emanuel began to breathe again. Another eight days in the hospital and the doctors sent the family home once again – no more prepared or educated than the first time to care for their fragile baby boy. Read More→
