Hello Good People please help my son to recover from the problem of failure to thrive caused by growth hormone deficiency /GHD by being able to buy growth hormone injections.

GHD is a diagnosis that is still considered taboo in our country, not many people know about GHD even though this disease is one of the factors for failure to thrive in children. Therefore, as parents, we want our children to recover and grow normally, but the costs required are not small and this is not covered by any insurance, including the government.

( Growth Hormone Injection require)

My name is Yahya from Bali, since I was 8 months old I have not gained weight until now I am 3.5 years old, my weight is only 7.5 kg and my height growth is stunted. At 3.5 years old, I am only 74 cm tall, the same as a 1-year-old child.

My parents are very worried and have brought me treatment at their own expense for about 2 years, but there was no significant change. At that time I was declared malnutrition, micropenis, microtestis then at the age of 2.5 years I was referred to see an endocrine doctor. The doctor said I most likely had a problem with growth hormone and was diagnosed with growth failure so I was asked to do some laboratory tests at the age of 3 and was asked to prepare a lot of money for hormone injections.

Unfortunately, when I was 3 years old I could not start the treatment recommended by the doctor due to Covid 19 situation affecting my parents' income. The medical treatment with monthly expenses of up to USD 1150 excluding lab fees and the recommended treatment should be carried out for at least 1 year as follows:

1. Lab test for Igf 1, bone age and growt hormone at a cost of USD 700

2. vitamin costs USD 100 / month

3. Installation of NGT to maximize nutritional intake of USD 150 / month

4. Purchase of special formula milk USD 260 / month

5. Injectable growth hormone costs around USD 650 / month

Bali has been relying on tourism because of the COVID-19 situation, the economy in Bali has stalled and many of us have lost our jobs. I know it's happened all over the world. My parents kept praying and fighting for me by selling food but their income was enough just to eat.

I need your help, Will you help me to be able to grow like other normal children so that I can do activities like a child my age, every time people who see me always think I am hydrocephalus because my head is bigger than my body and they do not believe I am 3.5 years old.

You may contact my mom for more information +6281916154166.

Thank you for your attention and help
