Nathan is a two-year-old boy who lives with his family in the Philippines. Nathan is a happy child and enjoys playing whenever he has the opportunity.
Nathan was recently diagnosed with severe acute malnutrition, a condition that results from consuming too few calories, proteins, and nutrients. Due to his condition, Nathan has a weakened immune system, which increases his likelihood of becoming sick. Beginning on July 6, Nathan will receive at-home malnutrition treatment through our medical partner, International Care Ministries (ICM).
ICM will provide Nathan with nutrient enriched food packs to help him gain weight and achieve optimal 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 $261 to cover the cost of Nathan’s ongoing care.
“I wish that Nathan will become stronger and healthier as he continues to grow,” his mother says.
