Dr. John Paar, a retired cardiologist, helped
start Project Health for Leone to improve the standard of living for
Nicaraguans suffering from illnesses such as rheumatic fever.
rheumatic fever is the result of untreated strep throat and is
common in the Central American nation. Antibodies that try to kill
the invading bacteria that causes the fever also attack similar
proteins found in heart valves.
Ruth Garcia Gardado above suffered from rheumatic fever and
could not afford the expensive valve-replacement surgery. Project
Health for Leon was able to provide the surgery.
Your generous donations will help
provide medical care for the poor in Nicaragua.
