Meet Julio, a beloved one-year-old from Guatemala! Julio is currently experiencing acute malnutrition, including severe weight loss that has been difficult to treat. Our medical partner, Wuqu’ Kawoq, adds, “Julio is chronically ill as well, with a very limited appetite and severe diarrhea.”
Due to financial status, Wuqu’ Kawoq says Julio’s parents “are finding it impossible to meet his medical and nutritional needs, and they need our help.” Though his parents cannot afford Julio’s treatment, their desire to help their son has no bounds.
Julio’s mother explains, “I’ve tried everything, but I don’t have any money, and I don’t know why he won’t grow.” After being referred to our partner through the Guatemalan government, Wuqu’ Kawoq is certain they can help.
Julio’s treatment will include “regaining of lost weight, curing of diarrhea, and resumption of cognitive and motor development.” For $535, we can fund this treatment to help Julio grow into a healthy boy! Let’s help Julio get and stay well!
