Thank you for all your support in the last month. You have helped us to save the lives of SIX CHILDREN!

We have extended the campaign and we have four more children to save in this campaign and would appreciate your help one last time in donating and inviting new people to join our efforts.

Meet the six children that you have helped us save:

5 year old Emilia from Angola – Emilia loves learning new things and playing with her friends. She has not started going to school yet but can’t wait to go back home to Angola and start school.

8 year old Youssef from Gaza, the Palestinian Authority – Youssef recovered very quickly from his heart surgery and was very brave. Kept smiling and playing with the other children the whole time.

One year old Jinhong Mu from China – Jinhong was diagnosed with severely complicated congenital heart disease at birth. His pediatric cardiologist at Heibei Children's Hospital in Shijiazhuang,China referred him to SACH with hope that our medical team could help him. Jinhong and his family live in a small rural village and his parents are farmers.

3.5 year old f Lano from Iraq – Lano is a very friendly and outgoing child. She loves being with people and is very affectionate. Her mother teaches mathematics.

15 year old Kelvin from Zimbabwe – Kelvin is a charming young man. He has one brother and two sisters. Kelvin will be coming to Israel soon to undergo life saving heart surgery.

6 year old Woodley from Haiti – Woodley was brought to Israel by SACH by the Israeli rescue team from Haiti. During Woodley’s complex surgery, serious complications developed and Woodley's life was in danger. Brave little Woodley survived all the complications and he is now recovering nicely at the hospital and is enjoying the company of all the volunteers.

We would like to share with you these special letters from the children and families that have been helped by SACH.  These testimonials motivate us to keep working hard on bringing children as many children as possible to Israel for the help they need.
