**UPDATED** Ongoing Need: Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis

Update: Children of the Americas was able to secure six months of donated medications for this child, thanks to a generous contribution by a pharmacist in Texas.  Jody Greenlee will deliver them to Dr. Lyle on July 31st, during her visit to Panajachel.

A seven year old Guatemalan girl has severe Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis lives in the Panajachel area.  She needs methotrexate (2.5 mg daily) and prednisone (50 mg) daily.  These meds cost about $100.00 / month and the family has already sold their land to pay; but they have run out of money and meds.

If you have any leads, or meds to donate, please contact Dr. Lyle at lylandre@yahoo.com.
