Prayers for a broken heart

Donation protected
My name is Mauro. I was born in on July 23, 2015 with a congenital heart malformation named: Tetralogy of Fallot. My first corrective surgery was 20 days after my birth, and a year later a catheter to study my heart condition. After that the Cuban Healthcare System donated have a solution due to lack of resources and luckily and American Heart Foundation for Congenital defect, was contacted by my mother and after coordination donate the valvular conduit, and went as a multidisciplinary collaboration to to perform the surgery. Thanks to that amazing people I was able to continue living. But in the last 3 years my condition began to deteriorate, and needed a new surgery. In they donated have the resources for the treatment and the prognosis was bad in a few years, so in desperation and hope, we take a fishing boat and arrive to Key West at August 16, 2022. During the time here I was studying by doctor and in November 2023 received a heart catheter to delay the operation as much as possible, but now the time have come.My mother was left unemployed in this situation, she was unemployed with just her and me. I need your help to cover the cost of the transplant surgery and to be able to support ourselves while I recover and my mother can find work again. Please we need the as much help as possible so that so much struggle has not been in vain.
