Alea needs a miracle.
Without one she will not live.
Miracles are hard enough, but as an orphan in China, with no mom or dad to champion her, with no health insurance to cover her, a miracle seems even more hard to imagine.
Alea is currently being loved and cared for by the amazing people at New Day Foster Home in China (the same amazing people who saved and cared for Cooper). But, with organs rarely available for donation in China and the cost of any surgery (in China or in the US) being incredibly high, they are not currently able to provide her the life-saving surgery that she so desperately needs.
As we see it though, there are four miracles that are possible for Alea:
1. Functioning liver
*Miracle: God heals her and her liver begins functioning.
2. Surgery in China
*Miracle: A liver donation becomes available. (Almost no organs are available in China, but they
have put her on the list.....in case a miracle happens. If a miracle does happen, the surgery would
cost approx. $65,000.)
3. Surgery in the United States
*Miracle: Raise $300,000 to cover the immuno-supressant drugs Alea would need post-transplant. We have a hospital ready and waiting to provide this surgery if we can raise the money. All we need is MONEY. Aure, in this economy maybe that's hard....but really? Are we going to let a little money stand in the way of saving Alea's life?
4. Adoption
*Miracle: A family comes forward to adopt her. FAST.
While that all might seem so intimidating, she has four miracles that are possible for her! Not one, but four.
We are here to raise hope for Alea in every possible way- helping to make one (or more) of those miracles a reality!
How can you help?
Four different ways, of course.
1. Pray for God to heal Alea's liver.
2. Pray for a liver to become available in China, and help us raise $65,000 to pay for her surgery!
3. Help us raise $300,000 to pay for the immuno-suppressant drugs so that she is able to have surgery here in the US.
4. Pray for a family to come forward to adopt Alea. (Her adoption would be able to be expedited due to her medical need.)
The exciting news is that not one of these miracles is too hard for God! We just get the privilege of being a part of the story He is writing with Alea's life!
On Monday at the Hope For Alea website, we unveiled a HUGE Red Envelope fundraiser we have put together to give Alea HOPE!
We want to make ALL of those miracles a possibility for Alea. So, we are going to ask God to raise an amount of money that New Day has never raised before in one fundraising push.......$65,000 and up to $300,000 to make these miracles for Alea a possibility!
Would you prayerfully consider giving to help save Alea's life?
Every dollar is tax deductible, and every dollar matters!
Skip Starbucks and give.
Eat plain pasta one night with your family, and give.
Find a way to cut $25, $50, or $100 form your budget this month to give.
I know, it's not easy.
Sacrifice never is.
But, it IS worth it.
Alea has no mom or dad to champion her.
She has no health insurance.
Some would say she has very little hope.
But, it doesn't have to be that way!
Together, with God's help, we can be part of a miracle for Alea.
Don't miss your chance to be part of a miracle!

oh jenna, this is so heart breaking. as i hold my own baby in my arms it just breaks my heart to think of any child going through this alone. i wish we were in a position to adopt her. our baby is a high need baby and i don't feel it would be fair to my family to adopt a child with medical needs at this point. but i am going to pray that she is adopted by someone with fantastic health insurance. i'll keep watch for the unveiling of the way to give, too. thanks for advocating. happy mother's day!
As I've read about Alea, I was wondering if anyone had reached out to any large corporations who may be in a position to help out financially. If not, I was thinking that I may write some letters and send them to some Christian companies, letting them know of Alea's condition and connecting them to her website. But I wanted to check with people connected with her fund raising and see if that would be alright. If you could email me at HMRobinson727@gmail.com and let me know what you think, I would appreciate it. Thanks!
