WHERE MOST NEEDED HELPS CHILDREN LIKE CJ

At only 8 years old, CJ was diagnosed with congenital heart disease. Earning around $10US dollars a day, her parents could not afford the open-heart surgery needed to save their daughter’s life.

Compassion staff at CJ’s child development center secured funding for her heart surgery from the Where Most Needed fund. Compassion not only paid for the surgery but also provided for the bus ride, hotel stay and food costs for CJ, her mom and our center staff member. Thanks to generous donors who gave to the Where Most Needed fund, CJ received life-saving surgery.

Today, CJ is a healthy young woman with a strong heart. Your donation to the Where Most Needed fund will allow for amazing stories like this one to happen around the world!
