Save a Child's Heart, Israel welcomes a
child from Honduras!
This
week John Marcus, a 10 year old boy from Honduras arrived with big brown eyes
and amazing smile. Marcus lives in Tegucigalpa, the Capital of Honduras, in a
small apartment with his mother and 11 year old brother. His heart disease was
discovered during pregnancy and since birth he has had several fainting
episodes and periods of rapid heartbeats. John and his mother found out about
Save a Child’s Heart through the ambassador of Honduras in Israel who is a
friend of the family.
With
John's arrival, the number of countries of children treated by SACH increased
to 46!
Since
the beginning of 2013 SACH has:
Treated over 130 children
from 14 different countries
