Save baby Kateri
Donation protected
On June 29, 2020, Ms. KATERI was born into the family of Jennifer and Anthony Ezelue and our heart was filled with joy. However, the joy was short-lived when less than 24hrs after her birth, the doctors noticed that her blood oxygen was below the normal range.
An echocardiagram and several other test were carried out which resulted in her being diagnosed with congenital cyanotic Heart Disease, comprising of Atrio-Ventricular Septal defects (AVSDs) and a patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA).
This means she has 2 holes in her heart. If not treated urgently with an intra-cardiac surgery, her heart will fail permanently within the next few months.
We PLEAD with the public to rise to this desperate situation, with equal vigorous compassion and donate all we can to raise about $19,000 for her urgent Cardiac repair Surgery with a well-respected Paediatric Cardiothoraxic Surgeon, in Fortis Hospital, Chennai, India; which is in one of the two hospitals in India, we have contacted. They have already reviewed all her echocardiograms and blood work, awaiting her arrival.
This amount ($19,000) includes admission, pre-operative work-up and investigations, Surgical Operation as well as 6 weeks of in-patient post-operative care and follow-up.
It does not cover visa, flight, hotel accommodation and other transportation costs which we are struggling to cover already.
Please find it in your heart to DONATE and help us take some of the burden off our shoulders.
Along with the emotional support, the financial support is also greatly needed and appreciated.
Thank you all for your support and prayers.
