Meet this gentle and resilient soul from Dilla whose name --𝐀𝐠𝐞𝐥𝐠𝐚𝐲-- was lovingly gifted to her at birth by her mother, with the heartfelt intention that she would grow up to serve God.
On the eve of Easter, she became the 32nd patient to receive life-saving cardiac surgery through Healing Valves Ethiopia.
Her surgery was unlike any before done by Healing valves ethiopia — a complex double valve procedure that lasted nearly five hours, led by the skilled hands of Dr Fekede 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐇𝐕𝐄 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐠𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦.
This life-changing moment was made possible through the generous support of the 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐚 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐇𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲, whose kindness gave Agelgay a second chance at life.
Now awake and recovering, Agelgay dreams of becoming a poet — using her words to inspire others, just as her story is inspiring us.
