Save an Iraqi child with a life-threatening heart defect


Right now, thousands of Iraqi children are waiting in line for lifesaving heart surgeries. This Fall, we’re giving you the chance to mend one child’s heart. We’re providing medical training for local doctors so they can save lives in Iraq.


One Child’s Heart Surgery
(When you factor in the doctors, nurses, travel, medical supplies, etc.)
$650

Total Funding Needed:
$650
There is a backlog of children in Iraq born with Congenital Heart Defects (CHD), correctable defects in their heart that threaten their lives. Already the most common birth defect in the world, CHD is one of the leading causes of death for children in Iraq, and this is why we’re committed to saving their lives—to save their lives.

Most children born with CHD require an operation, but Iraq’s lack of trained doctors and nurses make search hopelessly impossible.


You can help us save a life and train Iraqi doctors in the process.

Here are three ways you can help save a life and make peace in Iraq:

1.    Shop

Fuse commerce and compassion by designating our project and help save a life with your everyday shopping!

2.    Advocate

Tell your friends and family why you’ve decided to invest in the lives of children who need heart surgery.  Share this page with your friends—both online and off.

3.    Pray

These operations can be risky, and the experience is difficult for family members.  Please pray for these children and their families!


Funds raised go to providing heart surgery for an Iraqi child. Support this project today to save a life and make peace in the world’s most notorious war-torn country.
