“Kendal has had multiple hospitalizations, at least one per month, since birth. He is very developmentally delayed, malnourished, and not at all thriving,” writes our medical partner, Wuqu’ Kawoq.
This is Kendal, a one-year-old boy from Guatemala. His doctors suspect that he has an underlying metabolic condition, but he needs a full and detailed workup to identify the exact problem and start him on the required treatment.
So far, Kendal’s mother has kept him safe and coordinated his various medical needs; however, she is struggling financially. She tells us, “I think something is going on. The doctors can’t figure it out, but I think Watsi can help.”
With your help and $1,385, we can help fund a treatment plan to prevent hospitalizations and cure Kendal’s malnutrition. Let’s get this baby back on track!

Kendal received nutritional therapy to reverse developmental delays.
Kendal’s intervention was a success! Our medical partner, Wuqu’ Kawoq, reports: “We solved the case! After an extensive evaluation, we discovered that Kendal has a severe allergy to a few types of food that he was eating on a regular basis. So we’ve put him on a medical diet that eliminates these foods. On this regimen, his symptoms have disappeared, he’s energetic again, and he is growing well. We’ll keep following him closely over the coming months to make sure he continues to do well.”
“Thank you for helping me figure out what was going on, I’ve seen so many doctors and I was losing hope,” shares Kendal’s mother. “I’m happy to see him growing well again.”
