This is Faith. You Helped Save her life.
“Our sweet Faith, who we rescued in November 2015, will finally be receiving open heart surgery in December! One year later, after months and months of hard work, we are able to provide Faith, a beautiful four-year-old girl who suffers from Tetrology of Fallot, with the open heart surgery she needs to survive.
Faith’s journey has been a long one. But it has been a journey supported by the community of Sudbury since the beginning.
When we met Faith, she was abused and broken. When she first joined our family, she spent five days in the hospital. Following her first overnight stay, she spent time in the hospital each month with cardiologists and nutritionists.”

“Our budget, as we get to know our children’s needs more over the years as they open up to us, requires additional assistance; especially in the medical and psycho-social sectors of our organization,” said Villeneuve.”
