Rovney is a two-year-old from Haiti who lives with his parents and several older siblings. Rovney was born with Down syndrome and severe cardiac complications. Rovney has partial atrioventricular canal defect, which means that a hole exists between the four chambers of his heart. Blood leaks through this hole without first passing through the lungs to obtain oxygen, which causes him to feel sick and weak.
Our medical partner, Haiti Cardiac Alliance, is requesting $1,343 to fund Rovney’s transportation to undergo cardiac surgery on June 8.
His mother is excited for her son to get well and says, “I would like to say thank you to everyone who is helping my son get his surgery!”
