Help Fix Duyen's Broken Heart
Donation protected
Duyen is Mancelona's exchange student :)
She came here to study and learn better English. She wants to study in a University in the US eventually.
Duyen wanted to play sports during her last year of high school and during a routine sports physical it was discovered that she has a birth defect which left a hole in the top two valves of her heart. She needs to have an MRI to determine what kind of procedure she needs to repair this hole.
This is NOT an optional thing, it needs to be done. We are doing our best to help get this done soon, before she starts having more medical problems because of it.
Duyen had two types of insurance. One from the exchange company does not cover birth defects (and that was ended when the company too her off their program) and she has insurance in Vietnam that the hospital her can not bill because it's not in this country. So... it looks like she will be responsible to pay for the MRI, and the surgery. The amounts of that will depend on what kind of surgery it has to be.
We all love Duyen and we would like to thank you all for helping her out! Every little bit will go toward her medical costs and/or her costs to stay here until school is over this year. Her full story will be published soon and I will be sure everyone gets that information.
