Juan is a 15-month-old toddler from Guatemala. He lives with his grandmother, uncle, aunt, and cousins.
Juan was recently diagnosed with malnutrition, a condition which occurs from consuming too little protein, calories, and nutrients. On June 12, Juan will begin receiving micronutrients and food supplementation from Clinic Miller, our medical partner’s care center. Our medical partner, Wuqu’ Kawoq, is asking for $492 to cover the cost of his treatment. Funds will also go towards teaching his grandmother how to create a nutrient-rich diet for him using limited resources.
“Thank you for this help he will receive,” says Juan’s grandmother. “May God bless you all.”

Juan underwent malnutrition treatment.
Since beginning treatment for malnutrition, Juan has been gaining weight and growing taller. He has been developing well since starting in the nutrition program, as Juan has begun to take his first steps and already is trying to walk by himself. He loves to play with his cousin, and although he is a serious child he loves to chat. With continued treatment, we are confident that Juan will continue along this healthy trajectory.
Juan’s grandmother says, “Thanks to God and you all my grandson is better. I do not have the means to repay you for all you have done with him. May God bless you.”
