We are proud to have been able to restore five young children and one adult to a full and active life during our spring paediatric mission, when we were honored to welcome ten members from the Healing Little Hearts team based in the United Kingdom and visiting Cameroon for the first time. As aIways, the visiting team worked in collaboration with the Shisong Cardiac Centre resident team to heal these six little hearts.
But, sadly, our triumphs are sometimes mixed with tragedies: one of the operated chidren died in the I.C.U, one of the patients died before she had a chance to meet the surgical team, and others were not able to be operated due to the limited time available for the mission.
We are expecting our next paediatric mission in June, when the San Donato team from Milan will return. If we are able to raise $5,359 by then, little Success should be able to get the long-awaited corrective heart surgery she needs. Please, don’t forget to like and share our fundraising page with your friends and family to help raise awareness.
On behalf of the Heart Foundation, we continue to thank all our donors for their continuous support and dedication which is saving and changing the hearts and lives of the young leaders of tomorrow.
