Good Samaritan and heart surgery needed

maria Ramos

The country is filled with testimonies of people who need assistance but those who can help are unfortunately in short supply.  Maria Ramos, a twenty-six year old single mother, is one such individual who needs a Good Samaritan at her side.  Ramos, a resident of the Stann Creek Valley, is suffering from a Rheumatic heart condition and is in dire need of immediate corrective surgery. The Ramos family and their doctor in Dangriga have been able to get the surgery free of cost in the U.S but today Ramos told us that they can’t afford the cost of two visas and two round trip tickets to the U.S. to go for the surgery.

“Eight months ago I get sick from my heart, I neva know I sick from mi heart because it ketch mih as surprise I get sick and deh ker mi dah di hospital and dah deh the doctor tell me I got Rheumatic Heart Disease. Suh deh seh I need a surgery but deh nuh duh the surgery here.
