Benley
This is Benley and his father. Benley is almost three years old.
They live in Soleil and lost their house during the January earthquake and live with Benley's aunt in Soleil.
He has a hole between the upper chambers of his heart (ASD) that needs surgical repair.
He can't play normally and has been hospitalized eight times for pneumonia and shortness of breath.
Benley has an up to date passport and his father told me that it is "all up to God"s whether Haitian Hearts can find a children's hospital in the US to accept him for surgery.
We need your help.
If you have ANY contacts with ANYONE who would be willing to help find a medical center for Benley's heart surgery, please let me know.
Haitian Hearts will provide transportation, housing, and medication for Benley.
Thank you.
