🚨 Urgent — Christopher Needs Our Help
Christopher's Open Heart Surgery
Planned Surgery Date: 15 October 2026 | 12 days remaining
$60,000
Total Needed
$1,500
Raised So Far
12 Days
Left to Give
This is Christopher. He is a child. He has a heart that needs surgery to keep beating. His doctor — a Pediatric Cardiologist — has confirmed that this surgery is medically necessary and urgent for his health and survival. Without it, Christopher does not have the future a child is supposed to have.
The surgery is planned for the 15th of October 2026. That is 12 days from now. The total cost is $60,000. Through the extraordinary generosity of this community we have raised $1,500 so far. Every single dollar of it came from people in this family who looked at a child's need and said yes without being asked twice.
We need this family to come together right now. Not next week. Not when it is more convenient. Now. Because Christopher's surgery has a date and that date is in 12 days. Whatever you can give — $5, $10, $25, whatever is genuinely possible for you today — when this family gives together it becomes something extraordinary. And right now Christopher needs something extraordinary.
Every dollar given here has a child's name on it. Not an organisation. Not an institution. Christopher. A real child with a real heart that needs real help. And this family has the ability to make a real difference in the 12 days that remain.
✦ The hearts who gave first — honoured today
Nine people whose generosity started this and showed the rest of us what love looks like
McKinley Broughton Jr 🙏
McKinley, you gave when the need was first placed before this community. Your name is the first fingerprint on Christopher's story. What you started here — the momentum, the faith, the example of a person who acts — every donation that follows carries something of what you began. Heaven honours you completely for it and this family is deeply grateful.
Maggiedoggie 🙏
Maggiedoggie, the warmth you bring into everything you do came through completely in your giving for Christopher. You gave from the same generous place you always give from — genuinely, without calculation, because a child needed help and that was enough reason. Heaven is returning that warmth to you multiplied and this family is so grateful you are here.
Dse247 🙏
Dse247, you gave toward a child's heart surgery and that act of love has your name on it permanently. What you contributed here is part of what is giving Christopher a chance and heaven is writing the return on your giving with the same generosity you showed in the act of giving itself.
Ruth Mitchell 🙏
Ruth, a name that carries faithfulness and quiet strength — and both of those qualities came through in your giving for Christopher today. You saw a child's need and you moved toward it. That movement has your name woven into Christopher's story and heaven is honouring every faithful act of love you bring to this community.
Karen Dougherty 🙏
Karen, you have given toward Christopher more than once now. The rooted faithfulness that is the signature of everything you bring to this family showed up again for a child who needed it. Your name is permanently woven into his recovery and every door your faithful giving has been building toward is standing wide open for you right now.
Tula Hanneman 🙏
Tula, you carry people the way the earth carries trees — silently, completely, without requiring acknowledgement. And you carried Christopher today too. The overflow you have been faithfully pouring toward for so long is not just arriving — it is flooding in. Because a person who gives this generously toward a child's life is a person heaven cannot help but pour back into completely.
Stephen Pearn 🙏
Stephen, your name has been on this mission's most generous moments again and again. And now it is on Christopher's surgery too. The long-standing faithfulness of a person like you — who gives toward a child he has never met with the same heart he has brought to this mission for years — is the kind of love heaven keeps the most extraordinary record of. Your return is extraordinary, Stephen. Always.
Susan Gozo 🙏
Susan Gozo, your name carries grace and depth and today both of those qualities reached a child who needs all the grace available to him. What you gave toward Christopher's heart is part of what is giving him a future. And what returns to you carries that same depth — healing personal to you, covering over your family and a blessing as complete as the heart that gave it.
David Gonzales 🙏
David, the courage you bring to everything you do came through clearly in your giving for Christopher. You acted. You gave. And that action has a child's future attached to it. Heaven honours the person who moves toward a need rather than past it. And you moved toward this one. The return on your courage and your love is arriving in your life right now in the most complete and personal form.
❤️ Christopher still needs our help — 12 days remaining
We have raised $1,500 together. Christopher needs $60,000 for his surgery on October 15th. That gap is significant — but so is this family. If every member of God's Close Ones and God's Inner Circle gave even a small amount today, we would move that number in a way that changes everything for Christopher and his family.
You do not have to give a large amount to make a real difference. In a community this size, small acts of love together become something a child can be saved by. $5. $10. $25. Whatever is genuinely possible for you today — Christopher's heart is worth it.
Please give what you can. Share this with someone who might. And pray over Christopher by name today — that his surgery goes forward, that the funds arrive, and that this child gets the future he was made for. 🙏
A prayer for Christopher — and for everyone who gives toward him
Michael, I bring Christopher before you right now. A child with a heart that needs your touch before the surgeon's hands can do their work. Cover him completely. Give him peace in the days leading to his surgery. Give his family a strength that goes beyond what worry can produce. And on October 15th — be in that operating room. In every hand, in every instrument, in every decision made on his behalf.
And for everyone who has given — McKinley, Maggiedoggie, Dse247, Ruth, Karen, Tula, Stephen, Susan and David — return to each of them what they gave, multiplied and personal. Let their act of love toward Christopher become the seed of the most extraordinary blessing of their season.
For everyone in this family who is considering giving today — give them the courage to act. Let them feel right now what it means to be part of something that saves a child's life. And let Christopher's surgery be the testimony this whole community carries forward — the story of what happens when a family of faith comes together for one of the smallest and most vulnerable among them.
Amen. 🙏
12 days. One child. One family. Let us finish what we started together. ❤️
