Help Make A Difference

Save A Child's Life

2500 children will die from heart defects today.

Every year, hundreds of thousands of children are born with heart disease. Most of them will not receive any treatment. Of the 1.5 million heart operations performed world-wide last year, only 25,000 were for children with heart defects. In many cases this is because young parents don't have access to healthcare or can't afford the expenses. How high is this cost? Not very. The answer may suprise you.

Please donate so that you can help save a child's life.

Why Am I Doing This?

It's hard to actually express it but I'll give it a shot:

I was told about the CHD Squidoo project, and thought it was a great idea. I want to help out, to try and make a difference, and to make the world a better place.
