Children in the Philippines who live in extreme poverty lack access to quality healthcare. They are often denied assistance and are unable to afford necessities to improve their quality of life.
Chloe is a one-year-old who was born with Cerebral Palsy, Epilepsy, and Microcephaly. Microcephaly is a condition that causes a baby's head to be smaller in size and is not fully developed. Her father is a part-time mechanic who earns around $90 a month. His mother used to do laundry for the neighbors but cannot work because she is still recovering from pregnancy and must take care of the kids. Life is already hard for them as their small house is primarily made of wood scraps, but it got harder because there are not a lot of available jobs for them due to the pandemic. Chloe's father was not able to finish high school and her mother only finished first grade and does not have a birth certificate, making it difficult to find better jobs and could not provide the daily needs for baby Chloe. There are some days when they don’t have enough to purchase milk for Chloe, they had to feed her boiled potatoes and she only has one baby bottle which was given to her by their neighbor. Her mother reached out to Maya’s hope to ask for help in providing vitamins, milk, diapers, and other necessities for baby Chloe. Can you help us raise the funds for three month supply of formula, vitamins, diapers and more for Chloe?
