Iris Madave, 24, is looking forward to spending her first Christmas in Guyana but sadly it would be without her mother who died after she could not access health care in Venezuela.
Her Guyanese mother, Sadhna Sookraj, 49, was diabetic and her condition had gotten out of control.
She died last year because she could not receive the treatment she required. Her father, a Venezuelan, has remarried and moved on with his life.
