Joel is a 21-month-old baby boy who lives with his grandmother in Uganda. She and her husband work as small-scale farmers to support their four children and two grandchildren, however the recent drought has unfortunately resulted in poor yields. Joel was just starting to walk and talk when he became very weak as a result of severe malnutrition. At risk of suffering severe physical and developmental delays due to his condition, Joel was brought to our medical partner's care center, Bwindi Community Hospital, by his grandmother. His grandmother wants nothing more than to see him healthy and playing with the other children in the village. Our medical partner, The Kellermann Foundation, is requesting $316 to fund malnutrition treatment for Joel, which includes a ten-night hospital stay, nutrient supplements, and medications. The treatment is scheduled to be administered on July 6 and, once completed, will hopefully allow Joel to develop along a healthy trajectory. Joel's grandmother wants to tell the donors how much she appreciates the help for her grandson. “May God bless them abundantly,” she says.
