Myra Joy is a seven-year-old girl who lives with her grandmother in the Philippines.
Myra Joy was recently diagnosed with malnutrition, a condition that results from consuming too few calories, proteins, and nutrients. Beginning on June 30, Myra Joy will receive at-home malnutrition treatment through our medical partner, International Care Ministries (ICM).
ICM will provide Myra Joy with nutrient enriched food packs to help her gain weight and achieve optimum physical and mental development. The program will also teach her grandmother about proper nutrition, sanitation, and organic gardening to better care for her granddaughter. ICM is requesting $173 to cover the cost of Myra Joy’s ongoing care.
“I hope that my granddaughter recovers from malnutrition. I pray that my granddaughter will finish her studies and have a good job someday,” her grandmother says.
