The Village of Kennedy and surrounding districts pulled together for a benefit social, May 2nd, and a benefit breakfast for Baby Wyporowich, May 4th. Jodi and Monty Wyporowich, of Kennedy, will be facing high medical costs in Edmonton when their baby is born.

Baby Wyporowich will be undergoing heart surgery within the first year due to a condition called “Transposition of the Great Arteries” (TGA). This is a congenital heart defect in which the two great arteries (the pulmonary and aorta) are in reversed locations, which causes the blood to circulate in the opposite way that it should.

Treatments for this condition are timely and costly. The Credit Union has an account available for donations for Baby Wyporowich. Donations are greatly appreciated.
