Mafe's 40+1 fundraising birthday wish

Help us raise funds to cover Shantall & Milan’s surgery.

Dear family and friends,

I’m so happy to celebrate my birthday with all of you — that’s already my greatest gift.

This year I would love to invite you to learn about two incredible children who need surgery. Please take a moment to read their story and help us reach the goal.

Meet the Kids We Are Helping

Shantall Barraza

Goal: $3,795

Meet Shantall, a brave 6-year-old girl who has suffered from chronic tonsillitis for a long time. Her parents have tried everything within their reach, but surgery is now the only option as recurring infections are causing hearing loss.

She loves animals, crafts and enjoys Physical Education at school.

Milán Maldonado

Goal: $3,981

Meet Milan, a brave 12-year-old boy who loves soccer more than anything in the world. He was born with a congenital soft palate which makes him prone to respiratory infections and recurring tonsillitis. He urgently needs surgery to prevent complete hearing loss.

Let’s help Milan get back to the soccer field.
