Meet Roxana, a four-year old girl from Guatemala. According to our medical partner, Wuqu’ Kawoq (WK), Roxana loves playing with her little brother, her favorite playmate.
Roxana has a heart condition and developmental delays due to Down Syndrome, leaving her with “limited mobility and communication skills,” according to WK. “Additionally, her appetite is low and her parents do not have enough resources to feed her nutrient-dense foods, which has left her malnourished and limited her physical development.”
For $1,385, we can fund a multifaceted treatment that will help Roxana progress on her developmental path. “This treatment will allow Roxana access to physical and speech therapy that will increase her quality of life,” explains WK. “She will be able to better communicate with those around her, thereby increasing her ability to learn from her experiences and surroundings.”
“She will have better mobility thus increasing her independence and chance to attend a specialized school and maintain a job in the future,” continues WK. “Her mother will receive counseling to help her raise her special needs child, and our team will supply regular medical checkups.”
“It has been hard, one thing after the next, but I lover her and I want her to succeed in whatever way is possible,” shares Roxana’s mother. “Thank you for this chance.”
Let’s help Roxana get back on track and fund this treatment!
