Jimsel is a five-year-old boy from the Philippines. He lives with his parents and enjoys playing with his little brother.
Jimsel was recently diagnosed with malnutrition, a condition that results from consuming too few calories, proteins, and nutrients. Beginning on June 28, Jimsel will receive at-home malnutrition treatment through our medical partner, International Care Ministries (ICM).
ICM will provide Jimsel with nutrient enriched food packs to help him gain weight and achieve optimum physical and mental development. The program will also teach his family about proper nutrition, sanitation, and organic gardening to better care for their son. ICM is requesting $173 to cover the cost of Jimsel’s ongoing care.
“I pray that my son will become healthy so he can finish his studies,” says Jimsel’s mother.
