Hearts Unite - Sofia needs a new heart
Donation protected




Life literally changes in a heart beat and my dear friend Stefania's life changed in an instance. She was just told her darling 7 year old daughter Sofia needs a new heart.
What started off as a normal day for Sofia as her bubbly, loving, happy caring self, hugging everyone as she went off to school; later collapsing to the floor turning blue. With the fast action of a teacher giving CPR until the paramedics arrived and headed straight for the IWK Children's Hospital.
Not knowing the cause the physicians quickly worked doing a number of tests and explored her heart. It turns out that Sofia has a very rare heart condition and without wasting any time they are transferring Stefania and Sofia alone to the Toronto Children's Hospital to wait for the only option... a heart transplant.
Due to the pandemic and Covid 19 it really impacts the support they will have close to them. They are are both strong, courageous, brave and positive and I thought by setting up a " Go Fund Me" page to help ease the financial stress at such a tragic time is one small way I could show my support. So my ask it to those whose hearts this story touched, share their support as well.
Sofia is such a sweet, funny, caring, smart, loving beautiful girl with a heart of gold but it's not enough.. No donation is ever to small.. Thank you for your kindness!
