Abelino recently began experiencing seizures. As a result, his physical development has halted.
Abelino has lost the ability to walk and speak. He is also struggling with malnutrition. His parents, afraid for their son and extremely poor, have been unable to seek medical attention on his behalf.
Abelino is only four years old. He deserves a happy, healthy childhood, and for $1,450, we can make it happen for him. With medical care from our Guatemalan partner, Abelino will not only receive the treatment he needs to stop the seizures, he will also be given nutritional and physical therapy to help him start growing again.

Abelino received treatment to stop dangerous seizures and restore his overall health.
Our medical partners at Wuqu’ Kawoq were able to treat Abelino’s seizures and enroll him in physical therapy, where he is starting to make progress. During testing, the doctors found that Abelino had suffered a stroke. Fortunately, all additional testing came back negative, meaning that the stroke was purely bad luck and is unlikely to happen again. It is still a devastating diagnosis, but doctors can now focus solely on Abelino’s physical therapy and recuperation.
Abelino’s family is extremely thankful the help. In addition to being poor, and therefore unable to afford the treatment, they were also terrified that they would be blamed for their son’s condition. At Wuqu’ Kawoq, they found nothing but positive affirmation and support.
