Rebecca is a four-month-old girl from Uganda. Her mother passed away shortly after her birth. Therefore, Rebecca was never breastfed. She has always had difficulty digesting formula, but her condition has grown worse recently. Rebecca has been diagnosed with acute malnutrition. Rebecca lives with her grandmother, Maria, and her four-year-old brother. Maria walked three hours carrying Rebecca to the hospital from their remote village for treatment. Fortunately, with the help of our medical partner, The Kellermann Foundation, Rebecca will begin her malnutrition treatment on January 9. Acute malnutrition is very treatable. Therapeutic milk products and micronutrients will help Rebecca recover. Treatment will enable her gain weight and strengthen her immune system. Maria provides for her family by growing food on her own land. She also weaves mats in her spare time for extra income. She is a window and has difficulty supporting her grandchildren. She cannot afford the hospital and treatment fees. She needs $316 to fund this treatment. “I appreciate so much the help for my granddaughter," says Maria. "I want her to grow strong, so she can go to school when she is older."
