Soon things will be much better!

Lakiss is still experiencing chest pain, but that will soon be over too. On May 23, 2026, Lakiss underwent successful surgery performed by Dr. Charles Mve Mvondo and his team. The hole in her heart was closed, and her aortic valve was reconstructed. This was a major procedure from which Lakiss is now recovering. She felt much better soon after the surgery and was able to go home just 11 days later.

We met Lakiss personally during a video call. She is a radiant girl, full of enthusiasm. She is looking forward to returning to school in the fall. Lakiss and her family sincerely thank the mi-do community for their generous support!

In Cameroon, the age of majority is 21, which is why you'll find Lakiss's story here on the children's page. Lakiss is very small for her age, and her parents went from clinic to clinic trying to find out what the problem was. Just last year, at Padre Pio Hospital in Douala, she was diagnosed with three heart defects! Surgery is urgently needed.

Lakiss has two siblings. Her twin sister thankfully has no health problems. Her older brother is very committed to Lakiss and has been working to secure financial support. The family was able to contribute €2,290.00, and the mi-do community is covering the rest.

Thank you so much for your much-appreciated support!
