Love Them All, Inc

Hello!

Thank you for taking a moment to check out this gofundme page. This fundraiser is specifically for a little heart warrior named Elina who needs a second heart surgery this year! Her first surgery, in February 2023 in Italy, was a total miracle and was provided for FREE. Yes, for FREE, by the city of Bologna, Italy. We are counting on another miracle but know it will look different this time! Her surgeon says she cannot wait much longer, so we are calling on all her friends and cheerleaders to spread the word and help if they feel it in their heart to do so. The starting cost for a surgery like this is $20,000 USD so we know it is a bit of a hurdle. But, we are hopeful that this can be accomplished with the help of caring people like you!

Read here about the first part of Elina's journey.

For the most recent news on how she is doing, check out this update.

With so many needs in this world, and very real stressors and strains on our own day-to-day lives, I know it can be overwhelming to hear about more heart ache and challenges. Please do not feel obligated to give! But if you hit that share button, you never know who might just have been looking for a cause to support - and this little girl sure is worth every bit of help we can muster!

Thank you so much!!

Help Save Elina's Heart

Dear friends and compassionate hearts,

We are believing in a miracle to save a little girl's life.

I’m urgently reaching out to you on behalf of my dear friends at 'Love Them All' and Elina, a courageous 2-year-old from Iraqi Kurdistan and a refugee.

She's facing a heart condition that would challenge even the strongest among us – a large hole in her heart and a narrow valve, making each heartbeat a battle.

My dear friends from Love Them All, have been walking this journey with this precious girl for since she was 4 months old and have already got the first heart procedure she required in Italy in January 2023, ( read more about her past recovery by clicking here. Video of Elina' Initial procedure in Italy HERE.)

Now, she faces another critical step, with her requiring the next operation in Italy to secure her future.

Born into a region where paediatric cardiac surgery is a scarce luxury, Elina's journey has been one of extraordinary resilience. For the first 20 months of her life, her oxygen levels struggled in the 50-70% range, and her tiny heart pumped tirelessly against the odds. She was born with a single ventricle, experiencing a daily reality of semi-oxygenated blood, hindering her every move and milestone.

The team has secured finances for the flights, but there's a pressing need for $20,000 USD to cover the essential procedure. Traveling in faith, they embark on this journey next week December 11th. I'm hoping that hearts like yours will come together to ensure Elina's heart keeps beating.

I’m launching this GoFundMe campaign to rally support for Elina's ongoing medical needs. Your generous contributions will bridge the financial gap, ensuring she receives the care necessary for a chance at a healthier, happier life. Every dollar counts, and your kindness can make a world of difference for this resilient soul.

Love Them All, is an organisation committed to saving children's lives through medical interventions in Iraq. I’m personally friends with the founders and team, in which I deeply admire and highly respect. The funds will go to them to facilitate the medical treatment as they travel with Elina as her guardians for the operation.

Let's unite to give Elina the gift of a future filled with laughter, play, and the joy of childhood.

Your support is not just financial; it's a lifeline for a little girl who has already overcome incredible odds.

Thank you for being the heart behind Elina's journey.

With gratitude and hope,

Jessica and James Brewer

And Team Elina
