We need your help for Baby Athalia, a 9-month-old little girl in the Philippines.
Athalia was born with Spina Bifida, a condition where the spine doesn’t develop properly. This has caused a large lump on her lower back that needs to be removed as soon as possible. It’s causing her discomfort, and if not treated soon, it could seriously affect her ability to walk.
Baby Athalia's parents are doing everything they can to support her. Her father works as a house and building painter, earning just $300 a month, while her mother stays home to care for Athalia and her older sibling. Despite their best efforts, the cost of the surgery is far beyond what they can afford.
This surgery is urgent. Without it, the baby’s condition could worsen, making it difficult for her to walk and enjoy a healthy childhood.

We’re asking for your help to give Athalia the chance to live a healthy, happy life. Any donation, no matter how small, will bring us closer to making this life-changing surgery possible for her.
