So...where do I begin on this one? There is this sweet little girl, Sofi. She is from Michigan and lives right across the street from one of my best friends, and has become just like one of her very own kids. I got the change to meet Sofi when we went to Michigan in June, and I haven't been able to stop thinking about her since. For one thing, she has the brightest twinkle in her eyes, and the sweetest smile you could imagine. Oh and her little tiny feet... just precious. She also has something wrong with her heart and needs a heart transplant.
I was talking to Sadie tonight and she told me some pretty bad news about little Sofi. She isn't doing so hot at the moment, and no one really knows what is going to happen. They have had to go to a hospital 3-4 hours away from home and will be there for a while. Hopefully they can get her healthy enough for a transplant- if a heart finds it's way to them. My own heart is breaking for this family. They are a young family like most of us- and through all of this, the updates on the site from her mom have such a positiveness to them. It makes me feel horrible for taking advantage of my own kids' health when everyday is so precious to baby Sofi and her family.
I wish I were rich, I wish I could fix this for them, I wish I could make dreams happen. I keep thinking about where to go on spring break with my family, while they are happy with one more day with their baby girl. So I can't fix this for them, and you dont know how much I wish I could, but I can help spread the word. To top off this dramatic change in her health (She has had trouble since she was born, but this downfall was pretty unexpected) , her dad is laid off at the moment and their house has some leaking water issues that they can't deal with until Sofi is taken care of. They will be needing to get an apartment in the other city to be close to the hospital and their daughter...
So if you get the chance, take a look at her site and fall in love with her like I did. There is a spot for donations...and I know times are so hard, but if you can, I know it would mean the world to them. And if you aren't able...just keep them in your hearts and in your thoughts & prayers...and hope the best possible outcome for this great family and sweet little angel!!!
