Ganeblowza is a 21-month-old baby girl who lives with her mother, father, and grandparents in Haiti. Her father is a day laborer, and her mother currently stays at home to care for her.
Ganeblowza was born with Tetralogy of Fallot, a rare but serious heart condition that involves several related cardiac defects. Problems include a hole between two chambers of the heart, pulmonary stenosis, a thickened right ventricle, and aortic malfunction. As a result, not enough oxygen is delivered to Ganeblowza's body, leaving her sickly, weak, and at risk of fatal complications.
Have a Heart Cayman is subsidizing Ganeblowza's heart surgery, however she still requires overseas transport to our medical partner's care center, Health City Cayman Islands. Our medical partner, Haiti Cardiac Alliance, is therefore requesting $1,500 to cover the costs of air transportation to the site of surgery, cardiac examinations, and medications. The treatment is scheduled to be administered on May 26 and, once complete, will greatly improve Ganeblowza's quality of life.
"I have been very afraid since my daughter was born that she would die without surgery. I am very thankful for this chance," says Ganeblowza's mother.
