Ashley B.

Dear family and friends,
As you know, I spent an amazing 5 months in Israel volunteering with Save A Child's Heart. This organization has changed my life forever. I went to Israel to help others, but I learned more from the children and mothers than I could have ever imagined. This organization has touched my heart and I hope that you will support me and this life-saving organization by donating to help save the lives of children. I cannot thank you enough for your support!

With much appreciation,
Ashley

Woodley came from Haiti to Israel to be saved

This Passover we had even more reason to celebrate: Woodley Elisse , the six year old Haiti earthquake survivor who was brought to Israel with the help of the Israeli national rescue team, has returned home to Hiati.

His amazing story of a little boy who survived the earthquake, survived a complex open heart surgery and fought for his life after all the complications that followed the surgery - is a true model for all of us and a wonderful Passover story - the Holiday of Freedom.

We are now preparing to bring another 5 children from Haiti to Israel for live saving cardiac treatment.

Please give generously from your heart so we can repair theirs.

Quake survivor, 6, to return to Haiti soon

19/03/2010

Woodlee Elysee is now a "different and healthy child."

Six-year-old Woodlee Elysee has turned into a different child during the past month – from one so sick with a congenital heart condition that lack of oxygen gave his brown skin a deep blue tinge, to a healthy one who runs, jumps, laughs and uses some Hebrew words in addition to his native French.
