Jasmin’s Rheumatic Heart Disease

Thank you for the time to read this, my neice, Jasmin, who is 10 years old unfortunately is going through a few heart complications. Praying she gets better soon and hoping she would enjoy a full and healthy childhood.  This innocent girl doesn’t deserve this kind of pain. Please, we kindly ask for your prayers as well.

Jasmin has gotten her ECHO testing at a more affordable hospital but she now needs to be  transferred to a Cardiologist Center on Monday, October 15, to undergo further testing for her enlarge heart which might lead to operation if necessary. But unfortunately, we are unable to afford her better care. She is still taking medications and I’m praying everything will be okay.  

We are trying our best to keep our beautiful niece's spirit high and are requesting  for your kind donation and support to help Jasmin recover. Please

Your support means alot to us. You could help me give her the care she deserves, and to keep her in our lives for a long time. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this, and we thank you in advance for your kindness and generosity. God bless you all. 

With  love,
Her auntie Mary Ann Guevarra

Tricuspid valve leaflets with mildy thickened, with severe tricuspid regurgitation, TR jet = 84mmHg

Aortic valve leaflets mildly thickened tips, but with good coaptation and mobility, no regurgitation/stenosis

No ventricular outflow tract obstruction
