Antonia

Hey everybody!

While we were in Cusco, we met this little girl named Antonia Zamata Huaman. She is three years old, and is suffering from Ictiosis. We aren't sure what the name of the illness is in English, but it is a severe skin disease. Despite the cross she has to bear, Antonia is a cheerful little girl. In order to stay alive she uses 8 tubs of Cetaphil every month. Without this particular type of lotion, her skin would fall off, which would eventually result in dying.

Cetaphil in Peru is extremely expensive, yet it is the only thing that can keep her alive. The superior asked us to share this with our friends and family back home. In case anyone felt God moving them to help supply for little Antonia. Mailing tubs of Cetaphil, or simply donating (specifying the purpose that the money is for).

Please keep Antonia and the sisters in your prayers.

  1. I just came across your blog -- I am fairly sure that Antonia's condition, in English, is ichthyosis. She will be in our prayers!
