Abdul-rahims heart surgery

Hi, my name is Hajar and I'm fund-raising money for my little cousins heart surgery.

Abdul-Rahim Aldhaybi was born with critical congenital heart defects.

Some of these defects are as follows :

-Dextro-Transposition of the Great Arteries (also called d-TGA). This condition has the positions of two important arteries switched. This means the blood that’s pumped to the body may not have enough oxygen.

-Tricuspid atresia. In this condition, the heart’s tricuspid valve (the valve between the two right chambers of the heart) isn’t formed. This means that blood can’t flow correctly through the heart or to the rest of the body. Babies with tricuspid atresia may need one or more surgeries starting soon after birth to increase blood flow to the lungs and bypass (go around) the part of the heart that’s not working properly.

From birth he has undergone numerous open heart surgeries.

He is currently 15 years old and lives in lebanon, a place with no to little health care. He is in desperate need of another operation but the hospitals will not do anything until they receive full funds.

This time round they require $40000 USD which is equivalent to $63000 AUD.

His family require urgent financial help to make this operation possible.

Please donate, every dollar counts and will contribute to this family and their young child.
