The last project of AA Foundation in 2010 was to help raise money to support 4 children with various heart defects. Many of us may not realise that the number of heart defect cases that occur in children are elevating far more than expected, exceeding the number of cases of children diagnosed with Down Syndrome. According to a recent research, there are more than 35,000 cases reported in a year on children who suffer from such heart defects, and not many of them have been able to survive the battle or given the opportunity to undergo immediate and early surgeries.
We came across the news of four families appealing for donations from the public to enable their children to undergo surgeries to correct their heart defects, ranging from as young as a 5-month-old baby (suffering from serious congenital heart disease) to a 14-year-old boy (suffering from pulmonary artesia and ventricular spetal heart defects). Thanks to the advanced medical examination and treatment that is available in our society today, we are able to support these young children and families, providing them with care, love and hope.
For those who have contributed to this good cause with us, thank you for your support. Let us all pray for the successful recovery of these children and continue to send good wishes to each of them.
