This is Lilia, a 30-year-old mother from the Philippines. Lilia required a caesarian section to deliver her first child but, unfortunately, her scar did not heal properly, resulting in a large, painful abdominal hernia. Now pregnant again, Lilia's daily activities are hindered by her hernia, and she needs another caesarian section to ensure a safe delivery. Lilia belongs to an indigenous tribal group in the southern part of the Philippines. She and her husband work as farmers and earn about $10 a month. Due to Lilia's need for treatment, they say, "we have been knocking at doors looking for help and thank you for your compassion." Let's work together to help Lilia raise $1,060 for a hernia repair and caesarian section.

This little guy is Jairo! He is a one-year-old boy from Guatemala. His parents are subsistence farmers who don't earn much money. Putting food on the table is sometimes a struggle, and Jairo has lost a frightening amount of weight in the past two months. Our medical partner, Wuqu' Kawoq, writes: "Jairo has slipped into the downward spiral, so common in Guatemala, of frequent intestinal infections, complicated by malnutrition, leading to anorexia and poor food intake." Jairo needs our help to fund intensive nutritional therapy and get him back on track. For $525, the treatment will help Jairo regain lost weight, increase his energy, and help him resume normal development!
