“Carlos doesn’t talk like my other kids did. I think this is a sign that he is sick and needs help,” says Carlos’ mother about her son’s language delay.
In addition to language delay, this toddler from Guatemala is experiencing general developmental delay due to malnourishment. His family works on a plantation to meet basic needs, but putting food on the table is difficult.
“Recently Carlos has had several intestinal infections, and the family hasn’t had the extra cash to get medical treatment,” Wuqu’ Kawoq’ (WK) tells us. “They came to our clinic last week looking for help with his medical and nutritional needs.”
Carlos came to the right place – because WK is equipped to help.
“We are excited to be a part of the solution here, together with help from Watsi donors,” the WK team writes.”With intensive medical treatment, including food and vitamin supplementation, and treatment of his intestinal infections, we expect that Carlos will start growing again and that his language development will really take off.”
So let’s be part of the solution and fund $535 to position Carlos for a healthy future.
