Surgery for Zac in Madagascar

Donation protected

"Lalary" Ziva & Antsa Rakotondrasoa's son Zac needs heart surgery which can only be done in South Africa.

Lalary and Antsa of Madagascar are very involved in service, always giving to those in need. 
We now ask for help as Zac their youngest son has a Persistent Patent Ductus Arteriosis causing pulmonary hypertension.  He needs heart surgery that can only be done in South Africa.

The funds will cover the cost of the trip for mom and Zac, a cardiac catheterization and repair of the defect, anesthesia and lodging.

Please consider giving. Their goal is to have the surgery performed no later than mid October this year. The longer Zac goes without surgery, the more damage can occur.

Thank You, Misaotra betsaka!!

For full transparency.

My name is Landon Wood.
I served a LDS mission 2005-2007 and got to know Lalary and his family well. I went back in May of 2019 this year for a medical mission and saw Zac who is in need of his heart surgery.

Lalary reached out to me to help raise funds.
Per Lalary I have been managing the GoFundMe as he is in Madagascar and they don't allow them to raise money through their platform.

He has requested that I send the Money to South Africa where Zac will have the surgery.
The only way I have been able to find that can get them the money is by withdrawing the money directly and wiring the money through my bank. I will be coving all the wiring fees.

The funds will pay for Anesthesia, the actual Surgery, medical devices and the cost of the trip and house for Zac and his mother.

If there are any questions feel free to contact me.

thank you all for your help
