There are some intake photos that just hit differently,
Elie's was one of those.
You can almost feel the pain & terror he is holding when looking into his eyes.
Elie was admitted into our care just four months ago. He was 18-months-old, weighed 14 lbs, 1 oz, and was diagnosed with kwashiorkor malnutrition.
He spent 78 days inpatient, which is quite longer than an average stay.
Elie is now 2 months post graduation and is being seen in our follow-up program,
which is where the 2nd photo comes from.
He's gained an additional 2 pounds since graduating & is on a road to lasting recovery thanks to the resources in our follow-up program.
Your support of MIDDLE GROUND provides recovery, refuge, and relief to the sweetest of babes. May the overwhelming need never paralyze us to act & respond. Elie's life is forever changed thanks to your obedient actions.
