Ashley is a three-year-old girl who lives with her parents and three siblings in the central part of Haiti. "She smiles frequently and is curious about what is happening around her," writes a staff member of Haiti Cardiac Alliance, a Watsi medical partner. Ashley has a condition called patent ductus arteriosus, a hole in the heart that is normally present in a fetus but closes a few days after birth. Ashley's hole did not close on its own, and needs to be sewn shut with surgery. At present, blood flows through this hole before it can reach the lungs, depriving her body of oxygen and causing fatigue. For $1500, we can fund this little girl's surgery, allowing her to live a more active life and enjoy her childhood. Let's work together to keep Ashley smiling!
