Makuwaza, from Nelspruit, South Africa (left), has been diagnosed with an
atrioventricular septal defect, which means there are three holes in her heart
so it leaks and blood flows to her lungs. She needs open-heart surgery as soon
possible to close the three holes in her heart and stop it from leaking blood.
Doctors have warned her parents,Lorraine Muchapa, 31, and Inocent Makuwaza, 32
(pictured inset and right) she needs the procedure in 8 weeks or she will
become inoperable. But the hospital waiting list is too long, so the family's
only option is to pay for it privatetly. Mrs Muchaba is putting all her efforts
into raising money for the £13,406 ($20,000) operation. She said: 'Zee's smile
will just melt your heart - everyone who looks at her falls in love. But now
she is in so much pain. We are very desperate.'
(my take on this, the government of south Africa, or the local district head should foot the bills. the government is not only their to steal the peoples money but also to give back to them when they are in need of serious medi care)
