Baby Mia Needs a New Heart!!!

My friend Christy recently told me about a sweet little family in Seattle, Washington who needs help!

Their baby girl, Mia McDonald, was born with a heart defect that means she will need a heart transplant at only a few months old.

Already she has been waiting months for a donor heart in Washington state, and it costs $450,000 for them to get her on the national waiting list which will greatly increase their chances of getting her a new heart.

If she is lucky enough to get a donor heart, the financial strain on her family (young parents Mimi and John McDonald, and Mia’s elder brother and sister) will be immense.

Mia has been featured on two Seattle news broadcasts (Komo 4 and King 5), but those stories were both months ago and I worry that awareness of Mia’s struggle has faded with the newness of her life. If you are interested you can follow up on more of her story at http://helpbabymia.blogspot.com.

If you can donate anything, even a single dollar, please do so! You can find donation information at the Help Baby Mia Blog.
