Seven-month-old Baby Mirabel in Urgent Need of Life-saving Heart Surgery

Precious Ugwuzor 

At just seven months old, Baby Mirabel is in a fight for her life. Born with Truncus Arteriosus, a rare and critical heart condition, her body struggles to deliver the oxygen she needs to survive. 

This congenital defect has left her frail and vulnerable, making even the simplest tasks a challenge. Without urgent medical intervention, her future hangs in the balance.

The surgery that could save Mirabel’s life is not available in Nigeria and must be performed abroad. This complex procedure offers her the chance at a healthy, full life, but the cost is staggering. 

Her family needs to raise N25 million to cover the surgery, travel, and necessary post-operative care.

Time is running out. With every passing day, Mirabel’s condition becomes more precarious. Yet, her family cannot meet this challenge alone. 

They are reaching out to kind-hearted individuals, organizations, and communities to help bridge the financial gap and give Mirabel the life she deserves.

Mirabel’s family, in collaboration with the Congenital Heart Disease Foundation (CHDF), is appealing to the public for donations to meet this urgent need.

“Every passing day brings added risk to Mirabel’s life,” said a representative of CHDF. “We are counting on compassionate individuals to help us raise these funds and give her a chance at life.”

This campaign highlights the urgent need for increased access to pediatric cardiac care in Nigeria. Mirabel’s case underscores the life-and-death reality faced by many children born with congenital heart defects in the country.

Every contribution, no matter how small, could make the difference in saving Mirabel’s life.

Every donation brings her closer to survival. Contributions can be made to the Congenital Heart Disease Foundation through the following accounts:
