If Martin had not fallen from a guava tree, one might not have recognized his heart disease in time. After the fall an injury to the pulmonary artery was diagnosed and Martin was treated medically. Martin, however, has not recovered and has gone from hospital to hospital to seek help. In the end he was transferred to the Cardiac Centre Shisong where Dr. Jean-Claude Ambassa found an arterial septum defect type II, which has already led to an overpressure in the lung. It was strongly advised to undergo a surgical intervention.

Martin spent all his savings as he sought help in various hospitals. His family and friends were able to collect approximately one-sixth of the costs for the operation and for the remaining amount Br. Boniface asks the MI-DO community for assistance and support.
