Support Life-saving Care and Research for Patients Like Angela

When six-year-old Angela isn't dreaming of being a firefighter or a doctor, she's busy dancing. Or drawing. Or biking with her brother.

But brave Angela has already overcome some great odds. She was born with a life-threatening heart defect. At birth, she had only one functioning valve to pump blood.

Will you help patients like Angela? Pledge $10 to help us provide lifesaving care for children like her today.

Shortly after birth, Angela had open heart surgery. Her parents were told that she would have to undergo the same surgery every year to replace the synthetic graft she received. It was the only way to keep her healthy as she grew up.

But then our team at Nationwide Children's Hospital stepped in and changed everything.

Doctors at Nationwide Children's Hospital performed a groundbreaking new surgery on Angela at age 3. The procedure gave her a new blood vessel that grows as she does -- it won't need replacing. That means no more risky surgeries for Angela. Allowing her to grow up as carefree as any other child.

Revolutionary advances like these are only possible with the support of people like you. Will you tell Angela you're standing with her today?

Make a $10 pledge today to help provide life-saving support and care to children like Angela.
