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.
