Briseyda was born in Técpan, Chimaltenango— the same department where Partner for Surgery began its mission 24 years ago.
A tiny girl bringing light to her family’s humble home,
yet facing the fear and uncertainty of a cleft lip.
News of her birth reached Health Promoter Johanna Cap through someone in the community who knew this family needed help. Johanna didn’t hesitate—she walked into the hills of Técpan to find them.
When she arrived, she brought more than support. She brought comfort, reassurance, and the promise that this family would not walk this journey alone.
Partner for Surgery embraced them—just as we do for hundreds of families each year—
with nutrition for strength, education for confidence, and care filled with hope.
Today, little Briseyda is waiting for her cleft lip surgery.
A tiny girl with a bright future—and a community standing behind her.
Her smile is coming. And when it arrives, it will light every corner of her life.
This is what your generosity powers— not just a surgery, but a beginning, a future, a ripple of hope.
