Summary[edit]

Description

Shaimie: Before Country: the Philippines Weight: 11 lbs Age: About 3 years old Time on FMSC food: 0 or none Story: Three-year-old Shaimie used to weight just 11 pounds. As one of eight children in her family, nutritious meals were hard to provide for everyone. Shaimie’s mother, Marlita, worried about her little girl. Shaimie was sick and unable to sit-up, stand, or walk. She couldn't even speak yet, due to slowed brain development. Something needed to be done to save her life. Marlita enrolled Shaimie in a program called Malnourished Children Outreach (MCO) through International Care Ministries (ICM), a Christian organization that receives meals from Feed My Starving Children. Getting better in this program in Minadanao meant a four-hour round trip, five days a week for four months for Shaimie and her mom.

Shaimie: After Time: 4 months later Story: Shaimie began to eat FMSC MannaPack™ meals in ICM’s program. Doctors monitored her progress and diagnosed Shaimie with tuberculosis, starting her on a six-month treatment plan. Marlita received lessons in health and livelihood designed specifically for mothers, equipping her with vital skills to care for her family. It’s estimated that 12,000+ family members have been helped in significant ways by ICM’s MCO program in the Philippines. At the end of four months, Shaimie had greatly improved. She gained weight and could walk on her own. Shaimie even began calling her mom and dad, “mama” and “papa.”
