Merilyn's progress in her studies is very slow. Her cardiac arrhythmia and breathing problems often prevent her from learning. Over the years, Marilyn has been treated many times at the regional hospital, but it is only recently that her doctors decided to send her to the Cardiac Centre Shisong. There, Dr. Jean-Claude Ambassa determined that she needed urgent corrective surgery for her mitral insufficiency.

Since Marilyn's parents are peasants who must care for seven children, they of course cannot defray the full cost of the operation. But with the eighth of the cost that they are able to collect and the generous contribution of MI-DO donors, it will be possible to cure Merilyn.

Thank you for your precious help!
