This adorable young girl is Lesly, a seven-year-old from Guatemala. “Lesly is one of the nicest little girls that we’ve ever met,” says our medical partner, Wuqu’ Kawoq (WK). “She is always extremely happy and smiling.”
Lesly has a developmental delay that affects her bones, hearing, mobility, and speech. She has had several bone fractures, and needs a wheelchair for improved mobility. She also requires speech therapy to improve her communication.
“Lesly’s parents have exhausted what limited resources they had trying to care for her,” says WK. “They are happy to have found us.”
For $1,385, WK can work with Lesly and her family to develop treatments that will improve all aspects of her condition. After treatment, she will be able to return to school and interact with her peers again. She will also have more independence, which will be especially helpful as she grows older.
Let’s help this smiling young girl and her family, and fund this important treatment!

Lesly received treatment to address a developmental delay.
The treatment has been going well!
“Lesly has a long road ahead of her, but she is doing really well,” Lesly’s doctor tells us. “She now has a wheelchair, and she is starting physical and speech therapy. With this, her mobility and strength are rapidly improving and she is in excellent spirits. We’ve also worked with experts in the rare condition that she suffers from to develop a treatment plan to hopefully prevent future fractures, and she is taking medication for this now. We’ll continue to follow her closely and help provide her with necessary medical care as she grows up!”
“You’ve shown me that it is not hopeless, that there are things we can do,” says Lesly’s mother.
