Kenedy is a toddler from Guatemala. He lives with his parents and sister. He enjoys playing with his sister and is learning how to walk without any help!
Kenedy was recently diagnosed with acute malnutrition, a kind of malnutrition characterized by a weight that is dangerously low for a person’s height. Previously, he had been treated for chronic malnutrition, characterized by stunted growth.
On February 13, Kennedy will begin treatment at our medical partner’s care center, Clinic Miller. Our medical partner, Wuqu’ Kawoq, is asking for $782 to cover the cost of Kenedy’s nutritional supplements. Funds will also go toward educating his mother on how to create a hearty diet for him.
“I want to express my gratitude for the support my son has received from you all. God bless you,” says Kenedy’s mother. “My desire has always been to see him improve and grow each day.”

Kenedy received successful malnutrition treatment.
After receiving treatment for acute malnutrition, Kenedy has slowly but surely been getting healthier. According to Kenedy’s mother, even though Kenedy has struggled with his development, he has already started to walk and he is an active child who enjoys playing and running. With continued treatment, we are confident that Kenedy will continue on this healthy trajectory.
Kenedy’s mother says, “It has been difficult for my son to recover, but I am sure that little by little he will continue getting better with the help of God and the support of you all. I am grateful for all you do for my son because we have few resources and cannot give him treatment. I only wish to see my son grow well so that when he grows up he can study and I can see him graduate as a veterinarian.”
