It was a heartbreaking moment when I first saw this post on Facebook where this little baby girl who diagnosed with Down syndrome is now suffering from heart disease.
According to the funding post posted by One Hope Charity on Facebook, Grace was diagnosed with three defects in her heart, where the heart appears to have two holes and the main heart vascular deformed. As her situation is getting worse day by day, she now urgently needs a total amount of 80,000 ringgit for her heart surgery.
On 27th of August 2016, Grace came into the world. However, this baby girl was diagnosed with Down syndrome and congenital heart disease. As she needed extra medication care, she was immediately admitted to Newborn Intensive Care Unit for observation.
Two months later, Grace’s situation improved. With her doctor’s recommendation, her parents were allowed to bring her home while waiting for the authority to schedule for her heart surgery. When Grace was 6 months old, her situation had turned for the worse as her lung was infected and needed to be treated immediately.
Grace’s parents were advised to proceed the heart surgery as soon as possible. However, they could not afford the huge amount of surgery expenses. Her father was now unemployed while her mother is working in an insurance company as a clerk with a monthly salary of RM 1,700.
The parents are having 4 children where Grace is the youngest child in the family. The family is currently living with her grandaunt who retired from her work. In another word, the family is now living penniless.
Although the baby girl was diagnosed with Down syndrome, her parents never gave up hope on her because they loved her. They have agreed with One Hope Charity to start up a fundraising through social media. One Hope Charity first donated RM 8,000 to help out the parents to transfer Grace to the specialist. Perhaps The Coverage readers who are now reading this can lend a helping hand or share out the news to your friends and family.
