Herood is a 27-year-old primary school teacher from Haiti, who lives with his parents. Our medical partner, Haiti Cardiac Alliance, writes, “He loves teaching, and is very popular with his students; he and they were both very sad when his illness forced him out of the classroom earlier this year.” HCA reports, “Herood suffers from a condition called pulmonary stenosis, a condition in which the flow of blood from the heart to the lungs is slower than it should be because of a defect in the pulmonary valve. As a result, Herood's body does not get as much oxygen as it needs. While Herood has lived with this condition since he was young, it has recently deteriorated to a point which is making him very sick.” Herood says, ”Being a teacher makes me very happy. My students are all praying for me to get better!" For $1,500, Herood will receive a catheterization procedure that will restore blood flow to his lungs. HCA write, “He is expected to make a full recovery with no lasting symptoms or need for ongoing treatment.” Let’s give Herood the chance to get back to his students and live a happy, healthy life!
