Will you lift a child's head and fill their heart with joy?
Every donation is a heart filled with love. Every donation doubles in December.
Every gift helps provide life-changing surgery for a child like Armella.
Armella is a bright two-year-old from Madagascar. She was born with a large, painful mass behind her ear. As the tumour grew, so did her mother Caessah’s fears. Surgery was Armella’s only hope — but it seemed impossible.
They tried everything. They prayed. And then, love arrived in the form of a floating hospital ship.
The Africa Mercy docked in Toamasina, and thanks to caring people like you, Armella came aboard and received free, life-changing surgery.
Will you give ❤️ask1 or ❤️ask2 today to help a child like Armella receive the surgery they need?
All gifts doubled until December 31 – don’t miss the chance to help twice as many children.



“The day my child recovered”
Caessah, Armella’s mother said, “I recovered too.”
The 280-gram tumour is gone. Armella is now smiling, playing, and getting ready to start school. Her childhood, once marked by pain, has been set free.
But right now, many more children in Madagascar are still waiting.
Your gift today can help provide life-changing surgery for another child struggling with pain, isolation and rejection.
By giving 25$ every month, help provide a Cleft Palate surgery to a child in Africa.
Every donation adds a heart filled with love to our campaign page, and every gift writes a new story of hope and healing.
Whether it’s ❤️ [ask1], ❤️ [ask2], or ❤️ [ask3], your donation today will be the greatest gift a child like Armella receives this Christmas.

Double the Love by December 31
Every gift adds to our Love Meter — and helps heal twice as many children like Armella.
Thanks to a generous donor, all gifts are matched until December 31 — up to €[cap].
That means:
❤️ €25 becomes €50
❤️ €50 becomes €100
❤️ €100 becomes €200
Every donation brings double the healing to children in need.
No matter the amount you give — it will be doubled!
A surgery like Armella’s costs around €X. This Christmas, your matched gift can help twice as many people receive life-changing care.
That’s the kind of hope your gift makes possible.
