Zee Makuwaza, from Nelspruit, South Africa (left), has been diagnosed with an atrioventricular septal defect, which means there are three holes in her heart so it leaks and blood flows to her lungs. She needs open-heart surgery as soon possible to close the three holes in her heart and stop it from leaking blood. Doctors have warned her parents,Lorraine Muchapa, 31, and Inocent Makuwaza, 32 (pictured inset and right) she needs the procedure in 8 weeks or she will become inoperable. But the hospital waiting list is too long, so the family's only option is to pay for it privatetly. Mrs Muchaba is putting all her efforts into raising money for the £13,406 ($20,000) operation. She said: 'Zee's smile will just melt your heart - everyone who looks at her falls in love. But now she is in so much pain. We are very desperate.'
