Please help give more patients like Maria the chance for a brighter, healthier future.
Maria suffered from severe rheumatic heart valve disease since childhood and it caused her pain just to breathe. She suffered a heart failure when she was seven months pregnant, putting her life and her unborn twins at risk.
Fortunately thanks to the generosity of our supporters, Maria received heart surgery in Australia in May. She's now enjoying doing the simple things we take for granted, like caring for her children. Maria also recently celebrated her 35th birthday - a milestone that she wasn't sure she would see.
