This is Matias. He belongs to a low-income family. His dad works hard as an employee and earns approximately $6 USD per day. His mom stays at home, taking care of him and doing the house chores. Living on just one low income is not easy. In particular, when the parents want to see their child keep thriving. Food prices increase, while the income remains low. Matias parents speak Spanish. Hes not going to school yet, because of his age. They live in a shack made of wood and cardboard. Their scarce furniture does not include a refrigerator. Matias diet is based on breast milk and apple, potatoes or carrot porridge. Despite their precarious situation, hes healthy. Hes .68 m tall and currently weighs 6 k. He has already lived his first Christmas and was thrilled watching the decorated trees. He also plays with his rattle. With your kind help, Matias parents will learn how to early stimulate him. Later on, he will develop his own skills. This can be a big difference in Matias life.
