Samuel is a 20-month-old little boy from Haiti. He is his parents’ first child. His father works as a vendor to support their family, and his mother stays at home to look after him.
Samuel was born with a cardiac condition called Tetralogy of Fallot with pulmonary atresia. This means that Samuel has a hole between two chambers of his heart and is missing one of the four valves of his heart.
On July 25, Samuel will be traveling from his home in Haiti to our medical partner’s care center, Health City Cayman Islands, in the Cayman Islands. There he will undergo heart surgery. Our medical partner, Haiti Cardiac Alliance, is asking for $1,500 to help cover the cost of Samuel’s surgery prep. Another organization, Have a Heart Cayman, has contributed $27,000 towards his treatment. We are also fundraising for his transportation costs.
“We are so glad to know that there are people who are willing to help Samuel!” says his mother.
