Eleven-year-old Hiroki Ando will likely die if he does not get a new heart. Hiroki suffers from cardiomyopathy, which inflames and impairs the heart. The same disease killed his sister five years ago.
“We have two children in our family who got a disease that happens one out of every 100,000 people. I am sorry for my children. We are having my daughter and Hiroki going through this harsh experience,” said father Ryuki Ando. (CNN)
