Will you help me help Big Love Little Hearts?

By Margie Clayman | April 26, 2011 |

There is an organization called Big Love, Little Hearts. Founded by the amazing Estrella Rosenberg, Big Love Little Hearts does two things, really. First, it helps educate people around the world about heart defects that can take the lives of children. Many of these defects can be corrected if noticed in time. The second thing the organization does is help match children of limited means to organizations that can help fund their surgeries.

But actually, there’s a third thing Estrella and her organization does, too. It provides a community for the parents of all of these children. Can you comprehend a child going through heart surgery at six months old?

No, me neither.

The past few hours have been the most tragic in the history of the organization. Five little ones have passed away over the last several hours.

While money will not bring these children back, we can help donate so that more children can get help, and so that the Big Love Little Hearts organization knows we have their backs.

I’m asking one simple question.

Can we get 500 people to donate $10 this week in honor of the five children who passed away?

All you have to do is visit the Big Love Little Hearts site, and click donate.

I would consider it a huge personal favor, and I think we could also really make a difference.

Thank you for caring and sharing.

    Wow, Margie. I can’t tell you how much it means to wake up after a night like last night (by the end of the night 9 children in our community lost turned from heart warriors into heart angels) and see this.

    Thank you for your support, thank you for helping us raise awareness and on behalf of the family your $500 goal will help….thank you for helping us save another life so that we can turn from mourning into celebration.

    I’m incredibly touched and crying all over again.

      Well, I wanted to let you and your amazing community know that just as your triumphs don’t go unnoticed, so too do we all notice when you need support.

      Pretty easy to offer this kind of support to someone like you, m’friend. (((hugs)))

    Margie, just noticed you have our own webiste linked. That donation button won’t work 🙂

    Our new website is http://big-love.org 🙂

    Margie – is Big Love, Big Hearts affiliated with Operation Healing Hearts? Going to http://big-love.org, and clicking their “Save Lives, Donate Now” button at the bottom of the home page takes me to http://operationhealinghearts.org/donate.

    I get confused by the redirection, so I wanted to verify that a donation to Operation Healing Hearts would be going to Big Love, Big Hearts.

    Thanks.

      Operation Healing Hearts is the name of the project we’re raising money for right now, along with two other organizations, Cora’s Story and Preemptive Love. We made a commitment help raise $30,000 to fund a mission trip to repair the hearts of Iraqi children. You can read all about why on the Big Love site under the Operation Healing Hearts tab:
