Exulte, our 3-year-old girl from the DRC, was diagnosed with Tetralogy of Fallot, a rare form of congenital heart disease (CHD) caused by four heart defects present at birth. Requiring urgent surgical correction, she was referred to Mending Kids by her pediatric cardiologist, Dr. Pacifique Nunda. Thanks to our kaleidoscope of monthly donors and partner hospital in India, Exulte received successful open-heart surgery this past January. Join us in exulting over Exulte's restored future!
