23 Hearts. One Chance to Save Them.
On the morning of August 12, 2026, little Adeniyi Janelle took her last breath while waiting for a surgery that could have saved her.
She was fourth on a list of 24 souls mostly babies and little children all waiting for open-heart surgery to live.
Her empty space on that list is now a cry. A cry that we cannot wait.
On September 26th, hope arrived again.
A team of volunteer cardiac surgeons landed at the Babcock University Cardiac Centre, Ilishan. They are giving us their hands, their skill, their time, a gift worth over ₦127 million.
But love we all know needs tools to heal.
We still need to provide the theatre materials, the supplies, the facility costs. Without them, the surgeons cannot operate.
We need to raise ₦296,656,500 ($218,130) to save all 23 kids.
Without this surgery, these children, some just 6 months old, learning to crawl will slip into heart failure. Their laughter and parents’ joy will fade too soon.
But with this surgery, they will breathe easy. They will run, play, go to school, grow up. They will live a healthy life!
You can be the reason a heart keeps beating:
1. Sponsor One Precious Life: For just ₦6,160,000 ($4,529), you can fully fund 8-month-old Reuben's surgery and give his mother her son back.
2. Sponsor a Group of Little Ones: Fund all 5 babies under 12 months for ₦54.6 million, or all 6 children with Tetralogy of Fallot for ₦70.7 million.
3. Give Whatever Your Heart Can: Every naira, every dollar, goes directly to surgery materials. Nothing is wasted. Every gift is pooled until another heart is saved.
The surgeons have fixed their date. The deadline cannot move. The materials must be ready for the procedure to happen.
Please, don't let another chair on that list become empty.
Give today. Save a heart. Save a family. Together lets make a child live better and healthier(SDG 3).
