This is Modesta. She belongs to a needy family. Her father is a hard-working farmer that earns approximately $7 USD per day. Her mother stays at home, taking care of her and her siblings. These low-income parents really struggle to put enough food on the table every day. Modestas family speaks Totonaco and Spanish. Shes not attending school yet, because of her age. This family lives in an adobe house, without access to the sewer system. Their scarce furniture doesnt include a refrigerator and a stove. Modestas diet is based on breast milk, tortillas, chicken broth, some boiled vegetables and infant formula. Unfortunately, she presents mild malnutrition that its not being treated. She currently weighs 7.2 kg and is .64 m tall. Shes very active and curious. Her favorite toy is a rattle. Shes amazed by its sound. Your support certainly can help Modesta, and it will have a positive impact on her community.
