Asdrubal is 19 months old and lives with his twin sister, mother, aunt, and grandparents. His father works on a cargo ship and is usually out of the country.
Asdrubal was born with a cardiac condition called pulmonic stenosis, in which one of the heart’s four valves is too small. This causes his heart to work much harder than it should to push blood through, leading to heart failure and leaving him sickly and weak.
Although Asdrubal is not from Haiti, his surgery is taking place with our medical partner, Haiti Cardiac Alliance. He needs overseas prep and transportation for his surgery. He is scheduled to be transported on May 22.
Asdrubal will be receiving help from Gift of Life International to fund his surgery in the amount of $4,500. However, his transportation will cost $1,500 more. Therefore, Haiti Cardiac Alliance is requesting that amount in funding.
His mother says, “My family would like to say thank you to everyone for your kindness toward us and our son.”
