Campaign Story

Meet Amina, a bright and joyful 7-year-old girl from Chicago who was born with a congenital heart defect.

Despite her condition, Amina has always been full of life, laughter, and love for her family. She dreams of becoming a doctor one day so she can help other children like herself. However, her condition has recently worsened, and doctors have determined that she requires urgent open-heart surgery to survive.

The surgery costs $22,500, which includes the procedure, hospital stay, medications, and follow-up care. Amina's mother, Fatima, works as a teacher and has been struggling to cover the mounting medical bills. Despite her best efforts, she cannot afford the life-saving surgery her daughter needs.

Urgent Timeline

The surgery must be performed within the next 30 days. Every day counts. The medical team is ready to proceed as soon as we reach our goal.

With your support, Amina can get the surgery she needs and return to being the happy, energetic child she's meant to be. Every donation, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to saving Amina's life.

Funds will be used for:

  • Cardiac surgery and operating room fees ($12,500)
  • Hospital stay and intensive care ($6,000)
  • Post-surgery medications and follow-up appointments ($2,500)
  • Transportation and family accommodations ($1,500)

Thank you for being a part of Amina's journey. Together, we can give her the gift of a healthy future.
