This little guy is Jairo! He is a one-year-old boy from Guatemala. His parents are subsistence farmers who don’t earn much money. Putting food on the table is sometimes a struggle, and Jairo has lost a frightening amount of weight in the past two months.
Our medical partner, Wuqu’ Kawoq, writes: “Jairo has slipped into the downward spiral, so common in Guatemala, of frequent intestinal infections, complicated by malnutrition, leading to anorexia and poor food intake.”
Jairo needs our help to fund intensive nutritional therapy and get him back on track. For $525, the treatment will help Jairo regain lost weight, increase his energy, and help him resume normal development!
