Baby Ana is seven months old. She is the first child in her family. Her mother is a housewife, and her father works as a shopkeeper.
Ana has been diagnosed with malnutrition. Her mother is unable to produce breastmilk and cannot afford to purchase baby formula for her daughter. Due to a lack of nutrients in her diet, Ana is small and underdeveloped for her age. Malnutrition can lead to compromised brain development.
Fortunately, malnutrition is also easy to treat. Our medical partner, Wuqu’ Kawoq (WK), will supply Ana with a supply of baby formula and other micronutrient supplements. They have also arranged for a nutritionist to treat Ana by creating a personalized nutrition plan for her. Further, Ana’s mother will be taught how to create nutrient-rich meals for her daughter.
Ana’s treatment program will begin on March 28. Ana’s parents are very worried about their daughter, but they are unable to pay for her treatment themselves. Let’s help raise $1,162 for Ana’s recovery so that she can grow up into a healthy young girl.
Ana’s mother says, “I hope for my daughter to grow up well so that she can study.”
