Gonzalo is a one-year-old baby from Guatemala who hasn’t grown in six months. This is indicative of a major development failure.
Gonzalo is from a very remote part of Guatemala. His family is very poor. It took them a long time to even save up the bus fare to seek medical attention for their son.
Now that he has made it to our medical partner in Guatemala, his doctors are worried that he may have an endocrine problem. If he does, it could greatly increase his risk of developmental and cognitive delays.
Fortunately, for just $525, we can give Gonzalo the intensive nutritional therapy he needs to resume his growth and development. This will also cover the cost of an endocrine evaluation to help ensure he grows up with improved cognitive function. Let’s help Gonzalo get a healthy start to life!
