Notes: Marvelli came to Santa Patricia 15 years ago with her mother and 2 sisters, because they were able to get property here. They all live together in a vertical row of very poor tin and plastic houses. Marvelli house while very poor on the outside is very neat inside, and she has 2 double beds. We met her first Nov. 2012 when she requested help with her whining sickly looking youngest child Hammerling. He was seen at the clinic by Dr. Henry. When we checked on this family on our next trip Hammerling was playing, but still looked sickly with a protruding abdomen. Marverlli also showed us his undescended testicles. He was seen in the clinic give supplies for malnutrition and parasites. Mother was instructed to take him to the public hospital to get care for the undescended testicles.
