The professional fee for Jomar’s life-saving heart surgery is ₱205,300 (≈ 3,600 USD). His parents live on less than $3 a day and cannot afford it.

We diagnosed him early at 4 months old - he has been waiting ever since for his surgery... his parents patiently going to hospital visit after hospital visit.... we need to make sure he can get the care he needs and does no longer have to wait! odoVita is working to make sure he can get his surgery. Please help if you can by donating with the reference: Lucky!
