Isael Needs Your Help to Gain Weight
Donation protected
Meet Isael. He is an adorable 19-month-old nugget who is in desperate need of your help. Isael suffered a stroke in utero and was born with cerebral palsy. This has left him immobile and non-verbal. He can't drink, chew, or swallow on his own and was given a tube to receive liquids through his nose down to his tummy. That is not enough to provide him with the nutrition he needs. Isael needs surgery to place a g-tube in his little belly so he can continue to grow big and strong. Sadly, he has been on a waitlist for months because the only medical distributor that can send g-tubes to the Dominican Republic is not sending them to the island at this time. While we're trying to do everything possible to get a g-tube kit from the US to the Dominican Republic, he has started to lose weight. This means he can't have surgery until he brings his weight up again. We can't wait. Isael needs two different formulas to get him big, strong, and ready for surgery.
Mom and Dad are Venezuelan refugees with Mom living undocumented in the DR. With the political climate, Mom is scared to ask for help. She stopped working to care for Isael around the clock and his two siblings. She is a God-fearing woman who only wants to see her son live another day. Anything you give will help with his formula and other medical costs for appointments, labs, and medications. And if you can't give, please share his story to reach those who can. Thank you, friends. ❤️
Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will repay him for his deed. Hebrews 13:16
