Esther was abandoned in a ditch but is now healthy

DSC03110 (600x800)
Dear Peggy and Venkat,

Esther was found clinging to life by a passerby in Haiti. The woman who found her tried to take care of her for a few months, but due to Esther’s severe malnourished state, she was not able to help her. Because of her condition, Esther was unable to process and absorb food or nutrients. She was brought into the care of Chances for Children (C4C) about two months ago. Thanks to your donation, Peggy and Venkat, they were able to start her on Medika Mamba right away. Medika Mamba is creole for peanut butter medicine and is an energy dense peanut butter that is significantly fortified with protein and nutritional supplements. This product both helps children battle the serious effects of malnutrition and provides jobs to peanut farmers in Haiti. Esther has already gained four pounds due to Medika Mamba and is doing very well. She will eventually be placed into Chances for Children’s adoption program once she is healthy.

Thank you both for your generosity!
