Liza is nine years old; she is an orphan with severe multiple developmental disabilities. She cannot speak or move without assistance. However, she responds to familiar voices and smiles when someone holds her hand. Children like her especially need sensitivity and gentle care from those around them.
This year, Liza was placed in a children's residential institution for children with mental disabilities in Petrovsk-Zabaykalskiy. The girl requires specialized nutrition, so the institution reached out to a foundation for help.
Therapeutic nutrition is also needed at a children's home in Yugra. Twenty children with severe protein-energy deficiency require special formulas: some have difficulty swallowing, while others have problems absorbing nutrients.
For Liza and other children, specialized nutrition is their source of energy. Without special formulas, their bodies do not receive the resources needed not only for growth and development, but even for sustaining life.
Specialized nutrition is not a 'supplement,' but a vital therapy that helps preserve strength and health despite all difficulties.
Help us purchase specialized nutrition for Liza and 20 more children! Every can of formula is a chance for a child to get the necessary calories, protein, and vitamins to grow stronger, gain weight, and feel better.
