Wyndel is a six-year-old boy from the Philippines who loves to play with the children in his neighborhood.
Wyndel was recently diagnosed with severe acute malnutrition, a condition that results from consuming too few calories, proteins, and nutrients. Due to his condition, Wyndel has a weakened immune system, which increases his likelihood of becoming sick. Beginning on July 12, Wyndel will receive at-home malnutrition treatment through our medical partner, International Care Ministries (ICM).
ICM will provide Wyndel 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 Wyndel’s ongoing care.
“I hope Wyndel recovers from malnutrition and finishes his studies someday,” his mother says.
