Meet Edwin, a young father of one from Kenya. Currently, Edwin is struggling to walk due to a fracture in his leg. Edwin fell over a fence in July 2016. He was rushed to our facility where he had an operation on his right leg. His medical cost was met by his parents. However, on further review, an open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) surgery was recommended to complete treatment. Edwin and his family are unable to meet this much more expensive cost - $1,410. Edwin is a mason working at construction sites, though not permanently employed. His wife is a tailor who until August had been employed at a local tailoring shop. However, she stopped working to care for Edwin. Edwin stays in a single house in his parent’s compound. His parents are teachers but face the burden of providing for their three children, one who is in high school and the other who is also married but not employed. Let's help fund this important treatment for Edwin. “I want to get well to continue providing for my young family," he shared.

Marlie was born with a cardiac condition called partial atrioventricular canal defect, in which a hole allows blood to leak between all four chambers of the heart, depriving her body of oxygen and leaving her sickly and weak. Marlie lives in a city in central Haiti called Mirebalais, with her mother, grandmother, and two older sisters. Her mother and grandmother both run a roadside food stand. She likes playing with her sisters and attending church. If untreated, this condition could eventually become fatal. Marlie needs heart surgery to get healthy again, and the total cost is too much for her family to afford. $1,500 in Watsi funds, in addition to a $10,000 subsidy from Have a Heart Cayman Islands, will fully fund the surgery Marlie needs. "We would like to say thank you to everyone who is helping Marlie to become healthy," her mother shared.
