Thu is an 18-year-old teenager from Burma. He lives with his family and works as a migrant day laborer. In fifth grade, Thu was diagnosed with a heart defect, which causes him heart palpitations and joint pain.
Recently, while Thu was working, he fell ill as a result of his heart condition. He was taken to a local hospital and from there referred to our medical partner, Burma Children Medical Fund (BCMF).
On July 18, Thu will undergo a mitral valve replacement surgery at BCMF’s care center, Lampang Hospital. BCMF is asking for $1,500 to cover the cost of Thu’s surgery.
Thu is looking forward to his treatment and recovery!
