From our partner organisation in La Paz, Bolivia – HERZVEREIN – Association for the Support of Children with Heart and Vascular Diseases in Bolivia e.V. (www.herzverein.de) – we received appeals for donations on behalf of two children with heart conditions who require surgery.
But read for yourself:

Deysi Marcani
8-month-old baby girl
Deysi was born in La Paz in 2015. Since her birth, Deysi has been known to have various heart defects. Unfortunately, however, she has never received treatment. Deysi has two heart conditions: an atrial septal defect (a hole in the wall between the right and left atria) and a ventricular septal defect (a hole in the wall separating the ventricles) .
The girl has been admitted to Arco Iris Hospital on several occasions. The Child Protection Agency currently holds guardianship of the girl, as her parents were reported by neighbours for abuse.
The Child Protection Agency, together with the hospital management, sought treatment options to save Deysi’s life. The Fundación Cardioinfantil was contacted by the Child Protection Agency on 28 September 2015 to help fund the cost of the operation.
The parents have no fixed address in La Paz. The family lives on the streets. The father has no steady job. The mother works on the streets as a car cleaner and spent several months in prison.
Deysi has a surgery appointment on 10 November 2015 at the Hospital Belga in Cochabamba. The Fundación Cardioinfantil, in collaboration with the TV programme UNITEL, has raised 3,000 EUR for the treatment. For the remainder, Deysi is entirely dependent on external support!
Please help her!
