Every year, countless babies enter the world with congenital heart defects — a condition commonly referred to as a “hole in the heart.” While some children’s hearts gradually heal on their own, others are not as fortunate, and their survival depends on timely medical intervention.

Three-year-old Cassandra Adomako Donkor is one of the latter. Her tender heart, burdened by a severe congenital defect, continues to beat against the odds — each pulse a quiet cry for help.

Diagnosed with a life-threatening hole in her heart, little Cassandra needs urgent surgery estimated at $20,000 to correct the defect and give her a chance at life. Her parents, however, are faced with the heartbreaking reality of not being able to afford the life-saving operation.

Cassandra’s condition, though serious, is treatable. Cardiologists believe that with the necessary procedure, she could live a healthy and fulfilling life. But the clock is ticking, and the funds are yet to be raised.

Her mother, speaking through tears, described Cassandra as a cheerful and brave child despite her condition. “She’s full of life,” she said. “But when she falls sick, it’s terrifying. We live each day not knowing what could happen next.”

Doctors have recommended immediate surgery to close the hole in her heart and prevent further complications, which could include heart failure or even death.

The family is now appealing to the public, charitable organizations, and benevolent individuals to help raise the needed funds.

“No contribution is too small,” her father pleaded. “We just want to see our daughter grow up like every other child — to go to school, play, and live.”

Anyone willing to support Cassandra’s life-saving surgery can contact the family on 0598 632 474 or donate through the channels provided by her medical team and support network.

Cassandra’s story is a painful reminder of the many children across Ghana and beyond who face similar battles — children whose futures hang in the balance simply because of financial constraints.

As Cassandra clings to hope with every heartbeat, her family is holding on to the kindness of strangers to give their daughter a chance at life.
