Marvie is a happy 14-year-old girl from the Philippines. She is a student in the seventh grade, and she loves to go to school. She is the oldest of three siblings.
Marvie has had clubfeet for eleven years, and she has difficulty walking. Her mother worries about her future, but they have not been able to afford treatment. Fortunately, after visiting our medical partner, International Care Ministries, Marvie began treatment on November 22. She will also receive special shoes for support and therapy to strengthen her limbs.
Marvie’s parents work on a sugarcane field, and they also gather and sell firewood. They need help to fund this $1,500 procedure.
“We are so thankful for this opportunity that has come to us,” says her mother. “We have been praying for this. We desire for Marvie to be well and be able to walk properly without any difficulty. We would love to see her fulfill her dreams without any hindrance. Thank you so much.”
