8 Yr old Janeth's Heart Surgery, PH
Donation protected
What would you do?
Initially we wanted to help this family raise their ability to sustain themselves by essentially running a taxi service for their community. We’d purchase and donate a Tricycle, or Trike as they’re commonly known throughout the Philippines to the Dela Cruz Family.
As Claus was interviewing the family he noticed one of the kids, Janeth, was lethargic and had blue lips. After our interview he asked the mom, Evelyn, about her daughters health. She told me she had gone to a doctor and he said she needed a proper diagnosis which would cost P4000 ($80)! Making only P3000 ($60) per month made this an impossibility.
We then realized that without our help she would most likely not live for long.
So, what would YOU do?
We took on the additional challenge to help this little girl and her family and figured it was better to do something regardless of outcome than do nothing at all. We’re raising these funds to help this family.
We need to raise $13,000 USD or $16,330 CAD.
Her condition comprises of:
- Congenital Heart Disease
- Tetralogy of Fallot
What is that?
A heart defect that features four problems.
1. A hole between the lower chambers of the heart
2. An obstruction from the heart to the lungs
3. The aorta (blood vessel) lies over the hole in the lower chambers
4. The muscle surrounding the lower right chamber becomes overly thickened
Her recommended treatment is a medication period of 90 days, which she has just started, and to repair her condition via surgery after her medication period.
