Aung is a 34-year-old man from Burma who lives with his wife, son, and daughter. Both he and his wife work as government officers. In his free time he likes to read books.
Aung was diagnosed with a heart condition that involves a malformation of the mitral valve, the valve between the left atrium and left ventricle. This valve controls the flow of blood, but certain conditions may cause blood to flow backward or the valve to narrow. Currently, Aung feels tired, has chest pains, and has difficulty breathing. However, he can eat and sleep well.
Our medical partner, Burma Children Medical Fund, is requesting $1,500 to fund a mitral valve replacement for Aung. The treatment is scheduled to take place on January 27th and, once completed, will hopefully allow him to live more comfortably.
“I want to go back to work [as a] healthy [person] and support my family,” said Aung.

Aung underwent life-saving cardiac surgery.
Before surgery, Aung frequently had chest pain, would easily tire, had no appetite, and difficulty breathing and sleeping. Since his surgery, his symptoms have improved greatly. He no longer has a hard time breathing, no longer tires easily, is able to sleep well, and his appetite has increased. He is very thankful for all the help he received and would like to thank everyone for helping him.
Aung said, “When I went back home, I saw my friends and family waiting for me and they were very happy to see that my treatment had been successful.”
“In the future, I will continue to work with my wife at the same office and I will continue to support my children so that they can become educated,” said Aung.
