This is Modjina

Modjina is seven years old.

One of the leaflets of her mitral valve does not work properly and this causes fluid to leak backward into her lungs.

She is in chronic congestive heart and needs her mitral valve repaired or replaced.

Modjina is taking medication in Haiti that allows her to walk around and get by.

But she definitely needs heart surgery to have a good long life.

Can you help find a medical center for her?

Well, the epic Haitian earthquake happened eight months later which did not make Modjina's case any easier. 

More to follow.
