Alexandra Fortier hasn't added a story.
My name is Alex Fortier and I'm fortunate to be a Canadian citizen, living in a country where medical expenses are covered by our taxes.
My cousin and her 8 month old baby, Nicole, are not so fortunate. In the Philippines, people must either pay health insurance on a monthly basis or save money to pay for privatized care during medical emergencies. Most people (including my family) cannot afford either option.
Any money raised in this campaign would assist Nicole in having her heart operation at a private hospital, where it could be scheduled immediately. Doctors who have studied the results of her tests conclude that she needs an operation urgently and having one arranged at an out-patient department (which would schedule the operation further into the future) may not help her in time.
Please consider helping a child have an opportunity to live a full life. Every day, children all over the world are denied medical attention simply on the basis of fees and costs.This is a chance to help one such girl. When this condition is treated early in life, outcomes are very favourable.
Thank you very much for your time, consideration and for any contributions made. Every little bit helps. I will be posting updates as I receive them.
Blessings,
Alex
