Ronalyn is a one-year-old girl from the Philippines. Her father works as a farmer, and her mother stays at home to look after her. Ronalyn loves to play with her mother and has started walking!
Ronalyn was diagnosed with malnutrition, a condition in which she does not receive the proper nutrients needed for a healthy, growing body. Beginning on February 22, Ronalyn will receive at-home treatment from our medical partner, International Care Ministries (ICM).
ICM’s home-based feeding program will provide Ronalyn with nutrient-enriched food packs to ensure she regains normal weight and achieves optimum physical and mental development. To help sustain Ronalyn’s health, ICM’s professional staff will educate her mother on proper nutrition, sanitation, hygiene, and organic vegetable gardening.
ICM is asking for $184 to cover the cost of Ronalyn’s treatment.
“I hope my child will recover from malnutrition,” says Ronalyn’s mother. “I am looking forward to her growing up healthy and fulfilling whatever dreams she has.”
