Dear Supporters,
Here is an update regarding Umma’s health.
17-year old Umma first experienced a complex cardiac condition (Tetralogy of Fallot with small Pulmonary Arteries) for which she underwent a temporary procedure at the age of 8 years. She was then seen again at the age of 12. She approached Dr. Girish Warrier at Apollo Hyderabad. After evaluation she underwent a complete correction of her condition Although she did recover, one of her arteries had to be opened out and enlarged to allow it to grow. Due to this, one of her cardiac valves was cut and then it began leaking. As it stands, her heart is distending rapidly, and she requires to undergo an urgent valve replacement surgery. Umma has already been admitted to the hospital and is scheduled for the surgery tomorrow.
With this surgery, Umma will grow to be a healthy individual, and hopefully be a mother one day. However, this an expensive procedure as Umma will have to undergo a tissue valve replacement which will last for 15-20 years, and can allow her to carry a child without any complications. With a mechanical valve, the damage to the child she may carry at a later point could be fatal.
Umma's father is a daily wage laborer and is finding it difficult to arrange the funds require for his daughter's surgery. Without this surgery, the only alternative would be a heart transplant. But we can save the family from this today.
Umma could grow to be an absolutely healthy adult having a long life ahead of her. However, her family is struggling to arrange funds for her and needs your help.
Please come forward and help Umma to undergo her valve replacement surgery.
