Santo Domingo.- Marienny Villar, mother of little Lucas David, made a call for solidarity from the population to raise funds to cover the cost of a genetic study indispensable before her son undergoes surgery for congenital heart disease.

Villar explained that his son was diagnosed from an early age with this heart condition and that, as part of the medical protocol prior to the surgical intervention, the specialists indicated the performance of a final genetic study, the cost of which amounts to 92,000 pesos.

“This study is necessary before the operation. They have already performed around five or six studies, and this is the last one missing,” he expressed. Lucas David is currently 10 months old, which he turns this same month, and according to his mother, the operation must be performed before the child turns one year old, due to the complexity of his health condition. Marienny Villar reported that the surgery will be performed free of charge thanks to the support of the David Ortiz Foundation, an entity that will assume all the costs of the surgical procedure. However, she clarified that the genetic study is not covered by the foundation, which is why she has been in the need to request financial help. People interested in collaborating with this cause can contact Marienny Villar directly through the phone numbers 829-623-2225 and 849-285-2203. Also, her Banreservas account number 9608405747 to receive financial contributions for the medical study. The family maintains the hope of raising the funds in time so that Lucas David can undergo the surgery he needs and thus have a chance to improve his quality of life.
