Love Without Boundaries

It's been a while, but I wanted to share the amazing things that Love Without Boundaries has been doing. I've talked of their work helping children in orphanages, but this feature on Amy Eldridge is the result of winning one of the awards given for Cookie Magazine - their Smart Cookie of the Year award!

Heart Babies

Yesterday I found out that Love Without Boundaries has a couple of critically ill babies in need of immediate heart surgeries. One in particular on their website - Mu - has the same heart defect that Lucy does - VSD. As of yesterday she was still $1080 short of affording the surgery. Well, I went to my OES Chapter last night, and they agreed to fund $100 towards her surgery. In addition, I'm going to send $300 that my work will match (thanks to all for supporting - you know who you are) and that will get $700 of the $1080 that is needed!

This morning I phoned in to LWB and found out that they had found someone for the last $380 of the funds - and have scheduled Mu for her surgery! I'm thrilled that we were able to help out, but I keep watching the other kiddos on the list.


Still needing help is Baby Niu who also is in urgent need of heart surgery - for VSD and outflow valve stenosis... She needs just about $3885 left in sponsorship to help fund her surgery. So - now I'm off trying to see if we can find the sponsorship to fund her heart surgery. There is a lot of need - but if we can find a way to assist with the urgent needs, hopefully we'll keep these kiddos alive until they are placed with their forever families!
