URGENT: Help Save Liana’s Life

No child should ever have to endure the pain that little Liana is facing today.

In a matter of moments, Liana’s life changed forever when she sustained devastating burns while sleeping in her bed. She was rushed to the Linden Health Center before quickly being transferred to Georgetown Public Hospital, where she’s currently being managed by the very skilled and compassionate burn care team.

Liana suffered extensive third-degree burns to her face and scalp, along with serious burns to her chest and right arm. The injuries are severe, and her tiny body is not only fighting unimaginable pain, but also life-threatening complications that often follow major burns, including infection, fluid loss, organ failure, and permanent disfigurement. 

Despite the best efforts of her medical team in Guyana, the specialized burn care and reconstructive treatment she urgently needs are not available locally. Doctors have recommended emergency transfer to the United States, where she can receive lifesaving treatment from pediatric burn specialists experienced in managing complex cases like hers.

Every hour matters.

Severe burns are among the most painful and dangerous injuries a child can experience. Without access to advanced burn care, skin grafting, reconstructive surgery, and intensive rehabilitation, Liana will not survive.

SHEA Charity is working urgently to secure Liana’s transfer to the United States and coordinate the specialized medical care she needs. However, the costs for  emergency medical transport (medevac) is $70,000 USD. In addition, there are substantial expenses associated international patient and family support for the treatment duration.

We cannot do this alone.

We are asking our community, friends, supporters, and compassionate strangers to stand with Liana during the fight of her life.

No donation is too small. Please help us save this baby.

Donate. Share. Pray.

Because every child deserves a chance to live.
