Tiny heart patient gets donation from businessman

Following the airing of our story on baby Giselle Dennison on Wednesday night’s newscast, we are happy to report that the family has received the first donation from a member of the community and a Channel Five website viewer has also asked us to forward her name to the family so she can help. Early this morning, businessman Archie Lee called News Five to say he was moved by the story and wanted to give the family a small cash donation to help them on their trip to the United States. Lee, who did not wish to appear on camera, gave News Five the money to hand over to the mother for him. Although the baby’s mother Alison Broaster was in Belmopan getting her travel documents together, the baby’s grandmother Alma, gladly received the gift of three hundred dollars. A News Five website viewer in Chicago has also e-mailed us to say she would like to assist the family. Three-week-old baby Dennison leaves the country on Monday to undergo heart surgery. She was born with Cyanosis or what is locally referred to as “Blue Baby” which is caused when there is no separation of the right and left ventricles. However, through the assistance of the Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital and the management of Rochester Hospital in Minneapolis, USA, she will undergo the delicate series of operations she desperately needs. Broaster says she is nervous about the trip and the surgery but knows that her baby will die if she does not go. If you would like to assist the Broaster family you can contact them at twenty-one Lovely Lane.
