Maribel's Story
Mrs. Maribel Pérez Vargas is a 35 year-old Peruvian mother of two. She needs a lung transplant to live, but it costs 80,000 for the procedure, and that's money her family just doesn't have. So news stations, doctor's office, volunteers, and now HLSU are doing what they can to help this mother in need. Please, be selfless in this time of need, and do what you can, while you can. See the links below for more details.
This link goes to Mariebl's story that was published in the Washington Hispanic (in spanish).
This link takes you the an organization that rally's behind latin cases like Maribel's. They are called MAPAVI Inc.
Here's the link to the Facebook cause.
Also,
The Peruvian consulate and MAPAVI have organized a campaign to save this mother's life. We are asking the public to send donations to P.O. Box 8523, Falls Church VA 22041.
