However her daughter and some friends were praying to St. Martin and said 15 decades of the Rosary, asking above all through the intercessions of St. Martin that her mother would still be alive by the time she herself could reach her mother’s home in Paraguay.
This means that since everyone was hitting and picking on her she didn’t give up. She actually uses the bullies’ offense as her defense. Its quite unique because this is something you don’t see everyday but her grandmother told her to thank the people who called her names.Its a brilliant idea by her grandmother, yes indeed these words were hurtful, but Melba was clever enough not to show it. Doing this will confuse the bullies to thinking that she doesn’t care what they said or thought of her.

My friend lifted up her shirt, showed her a bright red (not pink) belly, and told her mother she had been calling and informing the doctor's office for days. They simply told her it was normal to have pain, not to worry, and they could not fit her in for an appointment until the following week. From the site of my friends stomach, her mother rushed her to the emergency room in horror. What my friend had was a horrible disease called necrotizing fasciitis and it had spread through parts of her body like wild fire. So I began investigating and found that she was not the only one.
