What began as a vacation in Chicago forever changed the life of Eloida Hermenegildo, a woman who traveled from Mexico in May and suffered severe health complications after contracting an infection from the Klebsiella bacteria, leading to the amputation of her hands and part of her legs. Just a few months ago, Hermenegildo was walking and enjoying her independence. Today, she faces a new reality as her family seeks financial support to obtain the prosthetics she needs and help her regain some of her autonomy. The woman, who has diabetes, explained how the infection affected her body. 'I am diabetic, so it keeps the sugar, and when there is none, it spikes. It went into my blood,' said Hermenegildo.
