Despite her heart condition, 2-year-old Lucciana is happy to be absorbed in her own Disney world playing with balloons and Minnie Mouse dolls. Our Minnie Mouse addict was diagnosed with Partial Atrioventricular Canal (AVC), a complex heart defect in which there is a hole in the chamber or wall of the heart and requires surgical repair. She already had her first heart surgery when she was a year old to close the valve and was due for valve replacement, crucial for her health and growth. Without it, she was at risk of developing complications including lung damage and congestive heart failure.

Lucciana’s father is struggling to provide for his family amidst Lebanon’s current economic crisis.
An online crowdfunding campaign was launched to raise the funds needed for Lucciana’s critical surgery.
