Princess is a sweet little girl that lives on the street. She turned one year old January 6th of this year. She is one of 5 children under the age of six. Her daddy is a scavenger and does what he can to provide. For 7 months out of her short, year-long life, she has used water as a substitute for formula.

Princess lives OUTSIDE with her family. She does NOT live in a
home. She has a serious infection on her head that needs taken care of.
Her family makes roughly $10.00 a week. Here in the Philippines, it is average to spend $3.00 on a kilo of meat. That is $21.00 a week on meat, for one meal. Not including rice, vegetables, water, or; in Princess's case, it’s not enough to get her formula.

I want to put this in prospective; my daughter is 5 months
and weighs around 11 pounds. She is tiny for her age. Princess is a year old and
weighs roughly 10 or 11 pounds. It is said that the average SMALL 1 year old
weighs 21 pounds, if your baby is on the bigger size, they will weigh more.
It would cost an American $1.27 to get her to a hospital to have her head taken care of. Yea, your read that right. $1.27.
To get her the medicine for her head and whatever other meds she needs it would cost roughly $21.00 AT THE MOST.
World Family Missions has started a program to take care of these babies and not only get them formula, but seek medical help. Many of our babies are dealing with parasites and serious injuries such as Princess's head. We NEED your help. Without your prayers and sponsorship, we can’t get these babies the care that they need. We are asking that you prayerfully consider sponsoring some of the needs on our list and continue to check back for updates on our babies and shower us in prayer!
We also ask that you like and share this blog so that we can spread the word about these babies and comment so that we know you are praying! It is very uplifting to us to read your encouragement!
