Deydamaris is a two-month-old girl from Guatemala. She has not grown at all since she was born because her mother cannot produce sufficient breastmilk. She also has difficulty sleeping because of her hunger. When she cries, her mother gives her sugar water. Deydamaris is the first child in her family. They live in a rented one-room adobe house. Her father works as a day laborer, but he does not earn enough to provide formula for his daughter. Fortunately, on November 24, Deydamaris began treatment with our medical partner. Her family needs help to raise $1,107. Deydamaris's treatment will be simple and effective. She will receive formula, which will give her the protein, calories, and nutrients she needs to grow and develop. Her mother will receive in-home nutrition education, so she will learn low-cost ways to prevent future cases of malnutrition. Deydamaris's immune system will strengthen, and she will grow up to be a healthy, energetic baby.

"Paulo is a cute and happy five-month-old baby boy," African Mission Healthcare Foundation (AMHF) tells us about this only child from Tanzania. "Paulo’s parents are small scale farmers. They were given a small piece of land by Paulo’s grandfather and their major income is through that piece of land." Paulo was born with clubfoot in both of his feet and affects his gait when he walks. Clinicians at AMHF have been able to take a look and have recommended a corrective surgery so this can be taken care of early in Paulo's life. "When Paulo starts to walk, he will be able to step on his feet and walk on plantigrade," AMHF continues. "Chances of developing early osteoarthritis will also decrease." We wish for him to be able to walk properly when the time comes and be independent as he continues to grow,” Paulo's mother says of her baby boy. Let's fund the surgery Paulo needs to walk properly for the rest of his life.
