Meet Esvin, an adorable one-year-old boy from Guatemala. For several months now, Esvin has been falling behind on his growth curves, especially when it comes to height. Because of this, Esvin’s motor development is delayed, he has a poor appetite, and is plagued by frequent diarrhea.
Esvin’s mother is a single mom whose social supports and income are very limited. She has trouble making ends meet. Doctors warn that if appropriate interventions aren’t taken to correct his nutritional status, Esvin is at risk of being permanently stunted in both growth and cognitive potential.
For $525, we can provide Esvin and his mother with the support needed to help him regain his appetite, overcome his chronic infections, and resume a path towards normal growth and development. Let’s help Esvin grow up to live a happy and healthy life!
