First Name Osvana

Last Name Lucas Santos

Gender Female

Osvana lives on the banks of the Amazon in a very poor village that JMI has served for years. She has been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease called alopecia areata, also known as spot baldness. Doctors say that Osvana is far too young to be experiencing such a severe case of this disease. That may mean that she may lose her hair more often than we would like through her lifetime. It will constantly grow back with treatment, but anytime she is stressed, sad, traumatized, or emotional her hair may fall out.
