Su said, “I gave up after I learned the surgery would cost more than we could ever pay. I thought about taking medications to control my symptoms until my time came to go. But now I feel less stressed. Thank you so much for releasing us from our financial problem. I am looking forward to returning to work once I recover.”
Su lives with her husband, who works as a baker. She stopped working as a factory worker in August due to her deteriorating health and is currently unemployed.
Back in 2016, Su began experiencing occasional tiredness, which worsened with physical activity. She also has difficulty sleeping, irregular heartbeat, and loss of appetite. Subsequent investigations, including an ECHO and ECG, revealed she needs a heart surgery called mitral valve replacement.

Su underwent life-saving heart surgery.
Now, after surgery, Su’s condition has greatly improved. She no longer experiences chest pain, and her appetite has improved. She can sleep well but still feels slight fatigue during physical activities. Her doctor’s asked that she continue avoiding heavy lifting and strenuous exercises, impacting her ability to resume work at the factory right away.
Su said, “I do not know how to express my gratitude. I would love to thank the Burma Children’s Medical Fund (BCMF) and everyone who has been with me throughout my treatment. Without donors and BCMF’s help, it would be impossible for me to receive such an expensive surgery. I will share the love and empathy that you have provided me. Once I recover, I will continue my work at the factory.”
