I am very excited to see snow for the first time when I go to the hospital! I’ve only seen it in pictures!” says Jony.
Say hello to Jony, an eight-year-old boy from Haiti. He is a straight-A student who hopes to go to university someday. In preparation for his hospital trip, he has already starting teaching himself English.
According to our medical partner, Haiti Cardiac Alliance, “Jony was born with a cardiac condition called Tetralogy of Fallot.” This involves several anatomical abnormalities of the heart which prevent enough oxygen from reaching the body. As a result of this condition, Jony tires easily and sometimes passes out.
For $1,500, we can provide Jony with the overseas transportation to the United States and surgery necessary to restore oxygen flow to his body. If left untreated, the condition could prove to be fatal.
Watsi donors, we’re counting on you!
