❤️ My Name Is Luciana — I’m Only 7 Months Old, and I Need Your Help to Live
Hi… my name is Luciana, and I’m just 7 months old.
I can’t talk yet. I don’t know how to say “please” or “help.” But my little heart is asking for both.
I was born in Chile with a serious heart condition. Something in my heart doesn’t work the way it should — and now, I need a special valve to survive. Without it, my body gets tired, my chest hurts, and my future slowly fades away.
Right now, my parents are holding onto hope. Every day, they kiss my forehead and whisper, “We’re going to save you, Luci.” But I can see their eyes… sometimes full of fear. Not because they don’t believe in miracles — but because this one costs more than they could ever afford.
The heart valve that I need, the surgery to place it, and the medical care that comes after… all of it is extremely expensive in Chile. My mommy and daddy have tried everything. But no matter how hard they work or how much they pray, it’s not enough.
That’s why we’re here.
That’s why they are sharing my story, hoping the world will listen.
Even though I’m only 7 months old, I want to stay in this world. I want to learn to crawl, to say “mama” for the first time, to laugh until I fall over, to grow up and tell my story someday — a story where kindness and love saved me.
Please, if you’re reading this, know that even the smallest donation is a piece of hope for me. Every share, every kind word, every dollar brings me closer to life.
From my tiny, beating heart — thank you.
For giving me a chance to keep beating.
With baby love,
Luciana
