Maria Nicole is a ten-year-old student from the Philippines who loves to play with her classmates and friends.
Maria Nicole was recently diagnosed with malnutrition, a condition that results from consuming too few calories, proteins, and nutrients. Beginning on July 6, Maria Nicole will receive at-home malnutrition treatment through our medical partner, International Care Ministries (ICM).
ICM will provide Maria Nicole with nutrient enriched food packs to help her gain weight and achieve optimal physical and mental development. The program will also teach her family about proper nutrition, sanitation, and organic gardening to better care for their daughter. ICM is requesting $173 to cover the cost of Maria Nicole’s ongoing care.
“I want her to finish her studies and I want her to recover from malnutrition,” her mother says.
