Covering costs of past surgeries
May 20, 2008 by bobby
BSSL was just given a great opportunity to be able to cover the outstanding costs of 3 heart surgeries that had been done back in February and March. The bills for these surgeries were still awaiting payment and we were thrilled to be able to cover them! So meet Sarah, Shayan and Najeeba! All 3 kids are already back home in Iraq and enjoying the new life their healing hearts have brought them.
Here’s a recap on these little guys:
Sarah- 4 years old- Had surgery on February 20th. Sarah returned to Iraq on April 30, 2008 with a healthy heart. We saw pictures of her in the airport before she returned to Iraq playing “doctor” for a number of strangers. She’s been through the ringer and come out a healthy, happy little girl!
Shayan- 1 year old- We helped send Shayan to surgery on February 20th. He and his mother returned to Iraq on March 26, 2008 with an amazingly powerful little heart. Before he left the guesthouse to return home he was seen chasing balloons around the room and laughing big belly laughs… true signs of a healthy heart!
Najeeba- 4 years old- Najeeba successfully underwent surgery on February 20th. Sarah returned to Iraq on March 26, 2008 with a thriving heart. At first Najeeba had difficulty understanding why her mother would take her away from her home and let the doctors open her heart. But as she healed and was able to enjoy being a kid again, it seemed she was able to grasp the degree to which this surgery has improved and, in fact, saved her life.
