One of Planting Hope’s host family’s since 2005, Juanita Rubi Guerrero Arista, 38, has been fighting breast cancer since early in 2015. Planting Hope has started a special discretionary fund to help her cover her treatment in Managua, currently the only place in Nicaragua where treatment is available. Funds will also help her family, especially for her son, Christopher, 8, as well as helping Juanita to start a small business to help other cancer patients in Nicaragua to access cancer-care products.
