Jake the Great

Fin : 31 d�cembre 2017

The face you are looking at is that of Jakob Baric. He is a son, grandson, a brother, a nephew, a Godson: a wonderful little boy. He is also currently waiting for a heart-transplant and in the process his family is indebted to the Ronald McDonald House Charity for their support. Jake suffers from a condition called "CC-TGA Congenitally Corrected Transposition of the Great Arteries." Jake has a large Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD), Ebstein's anomaly, Pulmonary Stenosis, and a severely leaky tricuspid valve. Jake is currently "waiting for the call" when he can finally receive a heart-transplant and hopefully relieve the conditions relayed here. His mother has expressed immense appreciation of the Ronald McDonald House efforts and notes the following: "They are a home away from home & made us feel comfortable & safe under the circumstances. Such a truly amazing charity because the very last thing a parent wants to think or deal with while their child if fighting for their life is where you will stay or sleep since you’re not allowed to sleep in the room while they are in intensive care!" Let us make a difference this Christmas and Holiday Season by contributing to a worthwhile cause! No donation is too big or too small, please give what you can and join us in celebrating life and good health in the new-coming year!
