Please help Nini!

Nini is suffering from congenital heart disease; patent doctus arteriusus,  tricuspid regurgitation, mitral regurgitation (severe), infective endocarditis (thoses are her heart consitions that was given to me). She is a niece of my husband. When I heard the "let it be, can't do anything about it" note while I am being told of her condition, I was appalled. I feel that I had to do something, even if financially I really have none to offer.  I'm asking your help for Nini that she may get stronger and healthier. Please help Nini.
Her parents had to transfer her from the Philippine Heart Center to the National Children's Hospital (NCH) with a Web site at http://nch.doh.gov.ph/ due to lack of funds for her prescribed medicines, physicians' fees, and other medical procedures and expenses. They learned that a nongovernmental agency with an office at NCH may be able to help their child. 
Nini is now bed ridden, and a lot thinner than how she looks in the picture. Her father sent a message saying that Nini cannot walk nor move or eat without assistance. You may inquire at (02)7240656, 7240657, 7240658, 7240659 if you want to learn more about her condition.
Nini's family are from Barangay Damayan, Macalelon, Quezon, Philippines. She is the only girl out of 5 siblings. Her father sometimes sells cooked food in front of her grandparent's house to make ends meet. Her mother who now have a different family works as a massage therapist. Their earnings are not enough to cover Nini's medical needs as well as for those of her siblings. 
Please help Nini get stronger and to avail of the medical procedures that her family cannot afford. Her doctors say she can't be operated on in her current condition, she's too weak to even sit. She's now a mere shadow of her stronger self like in the picture which was taken last holy week 2013 when she and her cousins (she's the one in the red shirt standing on the bamboo raft) were catching shrimps from a relative's fish pond.
Your help or donation will go directly to her medical expenses. You may also visit http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/for-nini/x/6462416 where a funding project was started for her. Thank you so much!
