The mode of transmission was through a blood transfusion as testing of blood products was not practiced in Mexico. Dora is undocumented and has been living in the U.S. for the last twelve years. She is monolingual Spanish-speaking and has refused to learn to speak English, even though she understands the language well. She is a single parent raising two daughters, ages 20 and 14. Her daughters are Lilia and Karla, both are bilingual and are considered to be assimilated to American life style. Lilia is a “dreamer” who attends a local community college, and recently applied for DACA and received temporary resident status. She recently began working her first job at one of the local malls. Karla is an 8th grader who attends a Catholic school on the West Side of San Antonio. Dora is a licensed Registered Nurse in Mexico, but cannot use her training here in the U.S. She works out of her home as a caregiver for an 85 year old Mexican American women who has Alzheimer’s and other medical problems. Presenting Problem: Dora has recently been experiencing moments of extreme sadness. She reports to start crying and cannot stop. She has had little energy to keep up with the demands of raising her daughters and performing her job as caregiver. Her 90 year old mother who lives in Mexico has fallen ill after suffering a terrible fall. Dora is torn about going to see her mother since she is afraid she will not be able to come back to San Antonio where she has made a life for her family. Her siblings are putting pressure on her to come home before something happens to their mother. Dora has been attending the support group for women living with HIV at Mujeres for the last five years. The social worker who facilitates the group has noted a definite change in her mood. Dora comes to the weekly sessions and sits quietly in the group and oftentimes breaks down in tears. She recently went to her regular check-up and discovered that her T-cell count was only 100 and that her viral load was extremely elevated. Lilia contacts the social worker who she and her family have established a trusting relationship with and expresses her concerns about her Mom’s behavior. She says she is afraid that her mother is depressed and it is affecting her ability to do her job. She has been stepping up to assist with the caregiving, but she is not always available due to her school and work demands. She knows her mother would like to go back to Mexico, but if they go back they will lose so much that they have established as a way of living.   1 SOWK 6347: Vignette Client: Dora Agency: Mujeres Unidas Contra SIDA Dora is afraid to reveal her concerns to the caregiver’s family as she fears she will lose her job, which has kept her in a comfortable living style and able to provide for her family for the last five years. The social worker feels that Dora may need to be on anti-depressants and needs to talk to her about setting an appointment with the psychiatrist at the local AIDS clinic. She is aware that Dora takes a long time to form a trusting relationship.
