Jessa is a 12-year-old student from the Philippines who loves to jump rope.
Jessa was recently diagnosed with malnutrition, a condition that results from consuming too few calories, proteins, and nutrients. Beginning on June 30, Jessa will receive at-home malnutrition treatment through our medical partner, International Care Ministries (ICM).
ICM will provide Jessa with nutrient enriched food packs to help her gain weight and achieve optimum physical and mental development. The program will also teach her family about proper nutrition, sanitation, and organic gardening to better care for their daughter. ICM is requesting $173 to cover the cost of Jessa’s ongoing care.
“I hope Jessa’s health will improve in her weight significantly,” her mother says.
