Jelita S. Mahulette

The Berkat Ambon volunteers received information and immediately went to visit and see firsthand the condition of Miss Jelita S. Mahulette, 16 years old, who has suffered from a congenital heart defect since birth. Because of the family’s very limited economic situation—her father is only a simple construction worker—Miss Jelita has not been able to receive adequate medical care. Some time ago, Miss Jelita was admitted to the hospital. When she eats, her heart often takes longer to pump blood, causing her skin to turn bluish.

The doctor advised that Miss Jelita should be referred to Jakarta as soon as possible so she can be treated directly by a heart specialist. However, once again, financial limitations are a major obstacle, and the family also has no relatives in Jakarta who can provide temporary housing.

We pray that God will open a way and prepare everything needed so that Miss Jelita can receive proper medical treatment, experience healing, and enjoy her joyful days. For brothers and sisters whose hearts are moved to help Miss Jelita Mahulette, you may contact the Berkat Ambon Messenger. May God bless us all.

Update 11/19/25:

Update on patient Jelita S. Mahulette, who has suffered from a heart leakage condition since birth. At 1.5 years old, she underwent surgery with assistance from a heart foundation, and the doctor advised that she should return a year later for a second surgery. However, when the same foundation was contacted, they responded that they were unable to take her case due to the large number of patients needing treatment. Because of financial limitations, Jelita was unable to proceed with the second surgery.

Currently, Jelita is experiencing health problems due to her heart condition, which causes her to tire easily and have shortness of breath. She has received a referral from the doctor for further examinations in Jakarta, and if possible, she may undergo heart surgery.

At this time, Jelita needs funds for travel tickets for herself and one accompanying guardian, as well as a place to stay during her treatment in Jakarta. Berkat Ambon has contacted several temporary housing facilities, but they are full. We will continue reaching out to others in hopes that someone can receive Jelita during her treatment. May the Lord Jesus open the door to a place where Jelita can stay, as well as provide the tickets for Jelita and her companion. Nothing is impossible for the Lord Jesus. For brothers and sisters who wish to share love and support Berkat Ambon’s ministry, you may contact Berkat Ambon via Messenger. May the Lord Jesus love and bless us all.

Update 11/20/25: Praise the Lord Jesus! Tomorrow morning, Jelita and her mother will depart for her follow-up surgery. Berkat Ambon has contacted the management of the Lions Shelter, and a place has already been prepared for Jelita. Thank you as well to the NN family in Ambon who donated tickets for Jelita and her mother, and to sister JE who donated Rp. 150,000 to help Jelita. May the Lord Jesus bless all brothers and sisters who have shown their care.
