Fit again!
At the beginning of February 2026, Leonel underwent successful surgery performed by Dr. Charles Mve Mvondo and his team! Just a few days after the operation, Leonel was already fit again, as the ‘thumbs up’ photo proves. Leonel was discharged in very good condition and will subsequently come in for check-ups at shorter and longer intervals.
You can imagine how relieved Leonel's mother Carine is. With your donation, you have given Leonel his health back and brought great joy and hope to the family! Carine sends her warmest regards and a ‘thousand thanks’ to all of you!
In March 2026
Leonel, the youngest of three siblings, has a congenital heart defect – a narrowing of the aorta. This was recently diagnosed by Dr. Sr. Helen Anshoma at the Cardiac Centre Shisong. Sr. Helen strongly recommends corrective surgery. This can be performed by Dr. Charles Mvondo as part of a surgical mission at the General Hospital Yaoundè.
Carine, Leonel's mother, is a single parent with two other children and urgently needs support in every way – both moral and financial. Together with you, we can relieve Carine of the financial burden of Leonel's heart surgery. We thank you in advance for your much appreciated support.
