Lawson Bates is organizing this fundraiser.

Hi all, this is Lawson Bates and I, along with my family, close friends and church members, and medical missions members of MEDIC Corps, would like to introduce you to a precious little girl from Leyte, Philippines, who is desperately in need of a life-saving heart surgery to repair a congenital heart defect called Tetrology Of Fallot, a problem with the heart’s structure that changes the normal blood flow through the heart. Left untreated, this defect causes heart failure, and ultimately, death! The surgery to repair this defect is usually performed before a patient is two years old, but because this operation was not available for Esther when she was younger, her heart condition has deteriorated and her situation becomes more critical each day!.

Friends, we are over HALFWAY to the goal for this precious child’s Life-Saving heart operation! We urgently NEED to make the total goal as soon as possible.We’re not giving up, because 1) We have faith in the God of miracles! Esther surviving this critical congenital defect to 10 years old is a miracle in and of itself, and I know God has amazing plans for her future. 2) When we lift up our burdens in prayer to the Lord, we can know that God hears those prayers and is touched by our infirmities. 3) God is already doing amazing things in and through YOU. Together we’re already over 50k raised

We NEED to make the full goal as soon as possible, and I know that together we can and WILL.

Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and empathy toward a child and her family, who can never repay you, but will be forever grateful. Continue to pray for Esther’s medical stability, her clearance for travel, and that we achieve this goal to save her life ASAP I’ll continue to keep you posted, ttys Much love,
