Mireycy is a beautiful one-year-old girl living in Guatemala with her caring mother.
Doctors say Mireycy has severe developmental delay. She has a lot of trouble moving her body. Her mother describes her as “completely floppy.” Although her mom has been keeping up with Mireycy’s nutrition, a common problem in Guatemala, Mireycy is still delayed for her age. Mireycy’s mom is motivated to help her child succeed and hopes that treatment is possible.
Aggressive physical therapy will help maximize Mireycy’s mobility and development, and a medical workup can identify a treatable cause of her delay. For $500, we can make sure Mireycy receives the care she needs, promising this little girl a healthy and happy future.

Mireycy received a medical workup to diagnose the cause of her developmental delay and set her up for healthy growth.
“This has been a really great case to watch,” Mireycy’s doctor says. “I just met with mom and Mireycy yesterday, and I’m happy to report that she is doing extremely well. We performed an extensive medical workup looking for muscular dystrophy, thyroid problems, and other potential causes of her developmental delay. Fortunately all of this workup was negative! We then moved on to intensive physical therapy and early stimulation work. Mireycy responded remarkably to this. She is now walking (!) and more interactive, laughing and playing with me during the consultation. She is also beginning to talk.
