Rafe is a three-year-old boy from the Philippines. His parents are both farmers. They live in a wooden house near the ocean in the south of the country.
Rafe has been diagnosed with acute malnutrition. He is thin, and his skin is dry. His family is worried about his health.
“I hope he finishes his studies,” his mother says.
Our medical partner, International Care Ministries, is requesting $184 to cover the cost of an in-home feeding program to treat Rafe’s malnutrition. This will pay for nutrient-enriched food packs, weekly visits from medical staff, and health education for family members. Rafe is scheduled to begin treatment on February 22.
