We're coming to you this Valentine's Day with a heartfelt plea:: You are so instrumental to our continued efforts to give children the renewed strength they need to face congenital heart disease and other critical illnesses.
That's why we wanted to let you know about our ambitious 24-hour goal to raise $20,000 and make waiting children's wishes come true today. Please, rush your donation for kids before midnight tonight.
Most people don’t realize how many kids, like 3-year-old Edith, face heart disease.
Born with congenital heart disease, Edith had already undergone two open-heart surgeries before she was 2 years old. Her parents did everything they could to keep her early childhood as “normal” as possible. But they also had to make tough decisions for her care, such as traveling far for her to see experts and monitoring potential complications from her heart surgeries.
Edith loves to be imaginative and play with her family, so when it was time to make her wish, she wished for her own playhouse where she could escape and express her creativity. With the help of Make-A-Wish®, her backyard playhouse came to life. Now, any time the life-long complications associated with her heart condition become too much to bear, Edith always has her playhouse to offer a much-needed moment of relief and relaxation. |
