Meet 19-year-old Muang Htun. Muang Htun lives with his parents and nephew in Burma.
Muang Htun is studying hard at Mawlamyine University to pursue his dream of becoming an engineer. Sometimes he is too tired to attend class because he has a congenital heart disease which causes extreme fatigue, shortness of breath and chest pain. Diagnosed at three-years-old, Muang Htun’s condition requires surgery in order for him to be resilient to future sickness and live a healthier, longer life.
For $1,500 doctors will replace his aortic valve and pulmonary valve while repairing the ventricular septal defect in his heart. His parents have been working at a rubber plantation to support him at university, but they need our help in order to fund Muang Htun’s surgery. Let’s help get Muang Htun the care he needs!

Maung Htun received a successful VSD Closure and AV replacement to repair the holes in his heart's chamber and valve.
He’s well on his way to making a full recovery. He can’t wait to get back on the soccer field and re-enroll in school so that he can work hard, become an electrical engineer, and provide for his mother and father.
“With this treatment we no longer need to worry about his condition. If he didn’t come to Thailand and stayed in Burma, he would be dead. He’s very luck to come to BCMF. I thank the donors for making this possible, “ says Maung Htun’s mother.
