She told me after about a month after setting these units up they would shut them down. Not enough money to keep them up and running.

She sounds like Dr. Paul Farmer as detailed In the biography Mountains Beyond Mountains

^Barbie (young, thin, blond and blue)?

A nickname given to her while spending different times in Central America by some of the medical professionals.

She enjoys her work and helping others but not nearly as accomplished as
Dr. Paul Farmer. Dr. Farmer was an extraordinary individual.

I dunno mate. Volunteering her time in Central America to help support medicine sounds pretty noble to me. My sister and her partner flew to the Solomon islands after the big Tsunami to help nurse. It's not something I would do myself, but I'm impressed with those that do.
