A letter from Martha Athena Salaver Orocio

We all have our own battle in life.

This is my battle, our battle.

Hello everyone! It's me Martha Athena you can call me Ina for short. I was born on August 28, 2019. I just turned 1yr.&9mos. to be exact. My mama cried as she was grateful to the Lord that despite of my condition still she has me and still saw me fighting. 

Back to the day I was born, everyone was so much happy seeing me. Till one month after my mama notice that there is something wrong with my fingernails & lips, they are turning darker. 

Then they decided to go to the Riverside Medical Center to check about my condition . The pedia cardiologist said she heard a murmur from my heart, she advised to underwent 2D echocardiogram to make sure what is wrong.

Thru 2Decho I was diagnosed with TOF (Tetralogy of Fallot) it is a rare conginetal heart defect with an unknown cause , the reason why I am blue & cannot breathe well. 

My pedia cardio said that I must undergo an open heart surgery as soon as possible to fix my heart. Please help my family as we need more or less Php. 300,000.00 for my surgery to happen. Your prayers and any amount would be a big help. As you all know, undergoing heart surgery requires a lot of money. It is therefore costly but mama and papa believes that God is the great healer & provider. 

To God: I am Your beloved. You were the one who created me. You were the one who made my heart. So I am putting my full trust in You. Please heal me completely. Please let me live longer for my family and everyone. Please let me have a chance to show the world how Miraculous You are. Let me be the living testimony of Your Great Love, Oh  Lord.

To All: We cannot pay you back but in return,I promise I will live my life with a happy heart. I cannot give you anything , but God will repay you with everything.

I can't wait to have that normal life. To live w/out catching my breathe. To laugh so hard w/out getting my lips purple.
