This is Ariana. She's a princess, a hugger, an angel on earth. Her family lives in a garbage slum. Her father is a scavenger and sifts through garbage every day. He earns the equivalent of $6.50/day.

Ariana has Down Syndrome and she needs be evaluated ASAP. The doctors need to check for heart defect and intestinal malformations.

She has asthma. When she was 3 years old, she had a high fever and turned blue. Doctor recommended 2D Echo to rule our problem but she still has not had this because her family could not afford it.

She's the most loving child I have met at the center to date. She gives unlimited hugs and kisses and her smile melts my heart.

We need $500 USD for her assessments (medical, developmental, etc.) We plan to get her speech and occupational therapies.
