Right now, Mike is a little boy full of spirit and confidence. He plays hide and seek behind his door curtain and laughs as he tosses a ball to his friend, Killy. But when you look at what Mike’s up against, you can’t help but worry. Deep poverty, food insecurity, no medical care, little resources. As this four year old grows – as the pain and progressive muscle damage cramp up his young body… as he’s slowly poisoned by negative messages about disability… as assumptions become self-fulfilling prophecies about all he can’t do… what happens to Mike’s spirit then?  

Together with you, we can make sure kids like Mike get the medical care they need to stop their pain and keep the spark of hope alive in their hearts. You can make sure that Mike isn’t turned away – that he gets medical treatment and has the care he desperately needs and has a fighting chance to escape poverty.
