Anson is the youngest of two siblings. He lives with his mother and a 19-year-old sister, who is currently studying while working part-time.
Anson was born with Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), a complex congenital heart condition that affects the normal flow of blood through the heart and to the lungs. He underwent a complete repair in 2011. However, over the years, he developed progressive pulmonary regurgitation, causing his right ventricle to become enlarged and placing additional strain on his heart.
Recently, Anson was admitted to IJN and successfully underwent Percutaneous Pulmonary Valve Implantation (Venus) — a minimally invasive procedure where a new valve is inserted through a blood vessel and placed inside the pulmonary valve to help control blood flow from the heart to the lungs.
Anson’s 41-year-old mother is a single parent, working part-time as a bookseller while caring for Anson and his older sister. His father continues to provide financial support for the children, and together, the family does what they can to support Anson through his heart treatment journey.
Despite their efforts, the cost of his treatment was still beyond what the family could afford. This was when his mother reached out to the IJN Foundation for assistance.
With the kind and generous support of IJN Foundation’s donors, Anson was able to receive the treatment he needed. Today, he is recovering at home, taking each day one step closer to getting back to the things he enjoys.
Sometimes, a helping hand can give a family more than financial support — it can give them hope, strength, and another chance at tomorrow.
Your support brings hope and gives another heart a chance at a better future.
