Lauris Lorena Lasso was born September 2, 2012 with two holes in her heart and a blockage to the heart artery. Lauris is in The Pediatric Hospital in Panama City, awaiting open heart surgery. Her doctors are waiting for her health to improve slightly before proceeding. Lauris is the niece of Vicente Guzman of Playacommunity.

For her surgery Lauris will need 15 pints of blood. Here in Panama, when a hospital uses blood from its banks, the patient is required to replenish the supplies. Failing donations from friends and family members, families often have to pay people as much as $40 for their donations. Lauris has 8 pints of blood. More is needed. Can you help?

The hospital will accept any type of blood towards Lauris’ account. To donate, please go to the blood bank of The Pediatric Hospital in Via España next to San Fernando Hospital. You must make sure the donation is in the name of Lauris Lorena Lasso ID is 8-1131-805. Once the donation is made, you will be issued a ticket. This ticket must be given toLauris’ parents Ariel Lasso or Eva Malek. If they are not there at the time, the ticket can be left at the blood bank with instructions to deliver to the parents.
