Amelia Grace Salas Funeral and Medical Expenses
Amelia's story by Jonathan Salas
Amelia Grace Salas ran into the arms of the Father this morning (August 17, 2021) at 7:24am . Her perfect healing has come in heaven. We can see her as she is dancing before Him, spinning round and round!
We want thank you all for standing with us in prayer, your love and support! It means so much to us. She got her Perfect Healing in Gods Perfect way!! She will FOREVER be in our Hearts!!
After years and years of praying for a baby and going through a miscarriage, we finally gave birth to our daughter, Amelia Grace Salas on June 9, 2018. One hour after Amelia’s Birth my elation quickly turned to worry as doctors told me there’s a possibility of her having Down Syndrome. In the back of my mind I felt so much concern over Amelia and her development. Now here we are 3 years later and I know how ignorant that was. Down Syndrome was not Amelia’s weakness but Amelia’s super power! She was the strongest Fighter we know!!
Amelia loved like no other. Her hugs were the best in the world. If you’ve gotten one you know what we mean!! She never judged people by how they looked or their past mistakes. She was not manipulative or self serving. She always saw the best in people. Amelia’s love was a perfect love. When I would hold her close, I truly felt God’s love. Amelia never knew a stranger and everyone who has met her, even for the briefest moment, has felt her super power! LOVE! Even the nurses at the hospital could feel her love through the pictures we hung up. - This kind of love is truly a God kind of love.
We are feeling tremendous pain. Indescribable pain but we know if we can fuse this pain with a divine purpose, God can turn this tragedy into many, many countless victories. We will make it our life’s mission to love people like Amelia Grace. THIS IS OUR PURPOSE! To spread Amelia’s love all around and take her to the nations.
I will be an advocate for Down Syndrome awareness. To make sure that this syndrome is not seen as a weakness but as a Super Power! Its ability to truly LOVE people like God loves people!
Every morning our prayer will be:
“Lord God, today help me love like Amelia” #LoveLikeAmelia

Amelia choked on a grape and then it became lodged in her throat. The ambulance arrived and the EMT went to work. Made it to the ER at Matagorda Regional Medical Center in Bay City, TX where she went into cardiac arrest. She was then life flighted to Children's Memorial Hermann Hospital in Houston, TX. There she remained in the PICU for 5 days. The medical staff at both hospitals were outstanding. Thank you!
The funds gathered will go to pay for Amelia's funeral, medical expenses and hospital expenses. Whatever is donated above the requested amount will go to establish the Amelia Grace Foundation. #LoveLikeAmelia
