Salomon is a six-month-old baby from Haiti. He lives in a small city with his parents and two older brothers. His father is a day laborer, and his mother sometimes works in the market. He is a cheerful and outgoing baby.
He was born with Tetralogy of Fallot, a rare heart condition caused by several heart defects, including a hole between two chambers of the heart and a muscular blockage in one of the heart's valves. As a result, not enough oxygen is delivered to his body, leaving him sickly and weak. Without surgery, the condition is fatal.
Salomon will fly to the Cayman Islands to receive treatment. On June 20, he will undergo cardiac surgery. This $17,000 surgery is subsidized by Have a Heart Cayman. Salomon's family also needs help to fund the costs of surgery prep. The $1,500 bill covers labs, medicines, and checkup and followup appointments. It also supports passport obtainment and the social workers from our medical partner, Haiti Cardiac Alliance, who will accompany Salomon's family overseas. Watsi is also fundraising for his [transportation](https://watsi.org/profile/2a1ac1faff9e-salomon).
"I will pray for God's blessings on everyone who is helping my son have surgery!" says Salomon's mother.
