Photo of the Week - Facebook Winner!

Last year, when LWB won the Facebook Giving Challenge Sponsored by the Case Foundation, we won $50,000. Our slogan during the contest was $10 for 10. For a $10 donation to help us win the contest, it could save the lives of 10 children with heart disease. When we won, we kept our promise and used all $50,000 of the winning to help 10 precious children. One of these 10 children is little Yang. Yang had a severe heart defect and was able to receive his surgery July 2008. Since then, he has been in a LWB foster program getting lots of love and attention. He has just blossomed! Just look at the photo of him running to greet his "uncle".

Yang has been officially been matched with a family and will soon be coming home! Thank you to all who helped....just look at the joy in this child's face! Yang was one of the the true winners of this contest.

Be a Hero

Baby Mei was born with several heart defects. This precious 8 month old baby girl has a VSD, a ASD and PH. She is urgently waiting for her heart surgery. Right now, LWB is holding our 6th Annual Art Auction where 100% of our proceeds will go to heal children like Mei. You can either take part and bid on some wonderful items at http://snurl.com/gsr5u

We know the economy is tough and many people aren't able to participate by bidding like they did in the past, but the truth is that you can still be a part of saving the life of a child with heart disease simply by passing on the news that our auction is now live (until Tuesday). Please use every internet means possible to let people know: Facebook, Twitter, blogs, email. We have so many children waiting for the heart surgery they need, and our art auction provides essential funds to give them a second chance at life.

Thank you SO much!
