Help Baby Mgbe Get Life-Saving Surgery

Donation protected
Hello, my name is Tim, and I am creating this fundraiser on behalf of a dear family friend in Nigeria whose newborn baby is facing a life-threatening heart condition.

Their baby boy, Mgbe-Etta, was born on August 1st, 2025, and has been diagnosed with pulmonary atresia with MAPCAs dependent pulmonary circulation, a large sub-aortic ventricular septal defect (VSD), a small atrial septal defect (ASD), and an overriding aorta.

This condition prevents blood from circulating normally through his lungs, and without urgent surgery, his life is at serious risk. The doctors at National Hospital Abuja have recommended an immediate CT pulmonary angiogram, cardiac catheterization, and surgical intervention in India where the necessary expertise and facilities are available.

Why We Need Your Help
The cost of travel, advanced medical procedures, and post-surgical care is far beyond the family’s financial means. We are reaching out to compassionate friends, family, and supporters worldwide to help give this baby a chance at life.
Every donation, no matter the size, will go directly toward covering:
Medical and surgical costs in India
Travel expenses for the baby and caregiver
Essential post-operative care

How You Can Help
Please consider making a donation and sharing this page with others. Your generosity will provide this baby with the life-saving surgery he urgently needs.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your support, prayers, and kindness.
