Qelaya's Heart Anomaly

Djakep Kouakam Ouziel Qelaya needs your help.

Qelaya is a 4-year-old girl suffering from a heart anomaly.

Qelaya's tetralogy represents 8% of congenital heart diseases. In her case, it is the most common form of cyanotic congenital heart disease.

Cyanosis is the bluish discoloration of extremities seen in a child with slightly purple lips and fingertips due to lack of oxygen. This condition can lead to growth retardation, poor overall development, and delayed psychomotor development in the child. Rapid intervention is necessary.

The treatment will involve unclogging: first, opening and lifting the narrowing of the pulmonary valve so that blood can circulate normally. This allows the blood to release carbon dioxide and receive oxygen in the lungs. This is the first step, and simultaneously, closing the communication between the 2 ventricles, which shouldn't exist under normal circumstances.

To do this, Qelaya needs to be evacuated and treated in a hospital equipped with the capacity and skilled personnel to perform this kind of heart surgery. A specialized team for treating this condition has been found in India.

Unfortunately, Qelaya's family cannot afford such medical expenses. That's why they are reaching out to kind-hearted souls for help in getting their child treated as soon as possible.

Thank you for your generosity and your highly needed assistance!
