Gladys can walk with assistance. She can drink from a bottle and eat pureed foods. However due to the severity of her cleft palate Gladys is unable to receive adequate nutrients. Gladys was unable to undergo a recent cleft palate surgery because of severe anemia due to malnutrition. Gladys currently lives with her two parents and her 3 siblings. Gladys has an unstable home environment and is often cared for by her siblings while her father is at work. Gladys enjoys playing & would love some manipulative toys to play with! She also enjoys swinging in her hammock. Gladys is a little girl in desperate need of our support. |
