In Uganda, I Am Thankful for Mohammed's Life-Saving Surgery
Published: November 23, 2023
I am happy to share that Mohammed, a courageous 14-year-old boy from Uganda who suffered from severe mitral valve regurgitation, just had successful heart surgery.
As you might recall, the HeartValveSurgery.com community sponsored Mohammed's life-saving cardiac surgery at the Uganda Heart Institute. That said, I am especially thankful this Thanksgiving holiday for your support of Mohammed and his family. To learn about Mohammed's journey to a healthy heart, click here.
Our 5th Child Saved!
This is the fifth time since starting HeartValveSurgery.com that we have sponsored a life-saving cardiac surgery for a child with heart disease. Amazing! Thank you!
Here are links to the children we have previously helped:
Keep on tickin' Mohammed! I hope to meet you someday!
