Mateo’s heart was healed in El Salvador during our visit there in March of 2026! At seven years old, Mateo received an electrophysiology procedure from Dr. Kevin Shannon. This led to his and his mother’s dreams of a healed heart and a normal childhood to come true!
Mateo will now be able to run around with his dog, play with his friends, and grow up happy and healthy thanks to our global netowork of partners, supporters, and volunteer medical teams!
