Meet Angel, a two-year-old boy from Guatemala who is malnourished. “For about the last 6 months or so, Angel has been eating really poorly. His weight and height growth have both stalled. He also is developmentally delayed when compared to other kids in the neighborhood,” reports our medical partner, Wuqu’ Kawoq (WK).
Angel is his mother’s only child. “Angel’s mother is struggling to provide Angel with high quality food, because work has been hard to find,” continues WK.
Angel’s mother brought him to WK to assess Angel’s physical development. “His growth curves are very concerning and he needs immediate nutrition intervention,” says WK.
For $535, we can provide nutritional therapy to Angel so he can grow happily and healthily. WK concludes, “With nutritional support and food supplementation, Angel should start growing again. His language development should pick and this will set him up for success down the road.”
