The girl Shahd does not look like an 11-year-old child as she clearly suffers from stunting and growth impairment.
The child has been suffering from malabsorption since she was 10 months old, and this has led to a severe delayed growth. She needs hormone injections at a rate of three subcutaneous Injections per week and for one month according to the medical report.
Her family cannot afford to pay the expenses of the injections since it costs $450 to purchase a one-month course of 12 injections. The family lives in extremely difficult conditions as the father is unemployed and he cannot meet the needs of his family that includes 8 children and their mother.
Everyday is an opportunity to grow, so your support is very important fot the treatment of Shahd.

The brothers, Mustafa and Jameel, who are 11 and 6 years old, belong to a poor family who displaced from Kafr Roma village to the rural areas of Idleb. They are residing in an unfinished house, and they can barely secure their basic needs, which makes it impossible for them to treat their children who suffer from clear stunted growth to the extent that it would be hard to believe their real ages as they look much younger with their weak and small bodies.
Thanks for being part of this campaign. With your donations, we will give those children growth hormone injections and will start their treatment immediately.
