Thank you again to all of you!

My name is Lucjan and I am fundraising for my niece, Emilia Wilk, who needs a lifesaving heart surgery in the United States. The cost of surgery in the United States is over 1.4 million dollars. Please read her story and donate to help save Emilia’s life!

Emilia was born in July of 2021 in Poland with the severe heart defect: Tetralogy of Fallot, pulmonary artery valve artesia, extreme hypoplasia of the pulmonary trunk and pulmonary arteries. This defect is life threatening, and in Poland, Emilia’s only option is a series of multiple surgeries that will prolong her life and suffering, but will never fully cure her. The only place where Emilia’s heart can be fully corrected is at a clinic in Stanford in the United States.

Emilia is a strong and beautiful girl who has been fighting for her life since the day she was born. Emilia is currently recovering from an urgent cardiac surgical intervention that took place at the University Children’s Hospital in Krakow. But Emilia’s heart is still in critical condition and we have been told the surgery in Stanford must occur in 5 months at the latest.

We have to raise an enormous amount of money in such little time, so we are calling on all of you to help. My family will fight for Emilia everyday and we are asking you to join this fight. Emilia is a happy child, despite the pain and suffering she has already experienced in her first few months of life. She enjoys every second in this world and wants a chance to live!

The money raised here will help pay for Emilia’s surgery in the United States. Please share Emilia’s story with as many people so everyone knows who our brave Emilia is.

We thank you all for your donations and are grateful for your help in our fight to help save Emilia’s life!
