CaCa's Heart
Donation protected
This story touches my heart as I am sure it does most people. It has come to my attention that a long serving work colleague 3 year old daughter is very unwell. I couldn't sit back and not do anything. CaCa needs our help. I am an Australian mother of two beautiful healthy children who lives in Indonesia and could not imagine being in this situation.
CaCa requires surgery on her heart as soon as possible as her little lips and fingers are slowly turning blue. The wait list in Indonesia for the surgery she requires may prove to be too long of a wait. We are planning to seek medical care in Malaysia. This will cost approximately $15 000 AUD per operation. This surgery will be required at the ages 3, 5 and 7.
Here is her story.....
Hello friends! My name is Putu Naisha Adwitiya Maharani. My nick name is Caca. I was born in Denpasar, on August 11, 2015. I can’t believe I am now, almost, 3 years old!
Just a week after I was born, I was diagnosed with Atrioventricular Septal Defect (AVSD) a congenital heart defect characterised by a deficiency of the atrioventricular septum of the heart.
When I first tried to drink milk through a bottle, I could not stop coughing and could not swallow anything. My doctor initially thought I was allergic to cow's milk, but soon after having all the checks he found a heart defect. From then on, my struggle began. I have since been visiting a specialist cardiologist in Denpasar and travelling back and forth from Sanglah Denpasar Hospital for catheterization action. I even went to Jakarta to consult with the Heart Hospital in Harapan Kita. I have also been speaking with my health insurance provider (BPJS). Since cosulting all the specialists they have recommend that in the case of my AVSD, I require a various operations of up to 3 or 4 different surgeries.
Now my skin, fingernails and mouth are turning blue. I have had difficulty putting on weight but I of course always remain positive, happy, active and lively. In fact, I can say I'm a child who rarely sick. You would never know I suffer from AVSD. But once I became sick it’s been hard to recover. For example, when I get a cough, it can take up to 1 month for me to recover.
Long story short, now my health insurance provider (BPJS) has advised a 6 month to a year wait to help with paying for my surgeries. And now, both my parents have decided not to use my health insurance because of the length of time waiting so we are trying to find the money ourselves. And through this donation I hope you, my friends, want to help in the process of healing my condition.
Please help us raise the money required to help repair CaCa's little heart.... no donation is too small.
