We are just starting wth GlobalGiving and we are in the process to learn how to impact more to receive more donations.
We were blessed with $240 that help our kids to have Medical appointments.
5 children had the benefit to get treatments.
The situation with our children that suffer Congenital Heart Disease in Venezuela is very complex and need more advocacy in order to receive more donation.
More than 4200 children are born every year in Venezuela with CHD and more than 80% of those require surgery in the first year of life. 2000 children are on a waiting list at any given time and many die while waiting. Due to a national health system in crisis, most of these children do not ever receive proper care.
Estrellita de BelenFoundation was establishedto provide help to these underprivileged children. Our foundation provides aid to these children and caregivers through funding for basic care and treatment, medical supplies, and nutritional supplements not subsidized by the government of Venezuela.
We work with parents,caregivers and local volunteers to meet the immediate needs of our little heart warriors. We are committed to the best possible care by identifying the most competent local medical professionals in the region. We are continually growing our support network to reach all areas of Venezuela.
