Lorraine (18years old) Malawian Girl with Severe Cardiomyopathy

Dear Friends, Family, and Donors,

Our youngest sister, Lorraine Matenda, was suddenly and recently diagnosed with cardiomyopathy with heart failure. Lorraine Matenda is a bright, intelligent, young, beautiful girl, with so much spirit her joy is infectious. She is a young woman who lets her faith in God carry her everyday. Lorraine would do whatever is in her power to help those in need.

She is in her final year of high school and recently finished an internship

with a law firm as she aspires to help others through law.

Currently she is in intensive care and needs all of our love and support.

It pains us to write this, as this brings to reality the gravity of the

situation she is in. When she started to get sick we did not understand the

full magnitude of her disease. Like most people you think a cough is just a cough, but in her case that cough gave way to this unimaginable disease that we are now praying she can overcome.

We ask each of you to help us in our time of need. We, the Matenda

children, are kindly seeking your assistance in saving the life of a

bright, kind hearted, spirited young Malawian girl. 

We are seeking funds to ensure that this sudden and complex illness of her heart can ensure that she receives proper treatment now and for future incurring costs which

includes the planning of a heart transplant as per recommendation of her doctor.

We thank you all in advance for your generous donations.
