As Luis’s mother I feel very happy and grateful that thank God and the Foundation, Luisito had an operation for a congenital heart problem that was discovered at birth, the diagnosis was Transposition of the great arteries. Nowadays, he is in good health, he doesn’t get tired anymore, his skin color has changed, he is no longer purple, now he can run, he plays soccer and he is studying 8th and he is a very happy boy who enjoys studying. We as a family are very happy to see all the changes after the surgery and we trust that Luis will achieve all his dreams.
