"To save a child is to save the World"
Every 29 hours a child's life is saved in the pediatric cardiac ward of Save a Child's Heart (SACH) in Israel-help us make it 28!
Join JOMA, Cardiology Club, Pediatrics Club, and Prospective Physician's Association at UMDNJ-SOM in raising money for the children's surgeries.
Make it a sweet week for friends, professors, or significant other. Buy goodies including fondue, flowers, and Valentine's Day cards made by SACH kids at 12-1PM TUES, FEB 9-FRI, FEB 12 IN THE ATRIUM AND 11-1PM in the UDP!!!
Or, buy a "Virtual Heart" here to support the cause.
"I've volunteered at the SACH house in Israel where the children stay before their heart surgeries. It is a remarkable place. Kids are counting 1-10 in many different languages, and it is a place for laughter and hope."
~Marina, UMDNJ-SOM Class of 2013
We are part of an international SACH drive in February to raise money to bring 10 children to Israel for life-saving heart surgery.

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. |
