Our daughter Angelise is in desperate need of a life-saving heart transplant and she needs your help in order to make it happen.
Angelise is the light of our lives. She is a sweet and loving nine year old who holds the key to the heart of so many people. At birth, Angelise was diagnosed with Hypolplastic Left Heart Syndrome, a severe congenital heart defect in which the left side of the heart is underdeveloped. She has been through four open heart surgeries since birth and the most recent was in 2013. In 2014, Angelise was diagnosed with Plastic Bronchitis, a debilitating disease that can be life-threatening. She has been hospitalized several times since she was diagnosed. Her last visit to the hospital was very scary because we almost lost her, when her airway was blocked from the plastic bronchitis.
We don’t know if we have days, weeks, or months of waiting for the call that will change Angelise’s life, the call that will give her a new heart. What we do know if that even with insurance a heart transplant is very expensive and there are many expenses that must be paid out of pocket. Some of these are co-pays, deductibles and travel to and from Shands Hospital at the University of Florida. We will need to relocate at the time of Angelise’s transplant for at least a few months and Angelise will be on a life-time of costly anti-rejection medications. This is where your help is so greatly needed.
To help with the financial burden of Angelise uninsured expenses, a fundraising campaign in her honor has been established with Help Hope Live, a trusted nonprofit organization that has been providing community-based fundraising guidance to patients and their families for more than 30 years. All donations are tax deductible to the full extent allowed by law, are held by Help Hope Live in the Southeast Heart Transplant Fund, and are administered by Help Hope Live for transplant-related expenses only. Please consider a tax- deductible contribution.
We are very grateful for you kindness, support, generosity and prayers.

Hi everyone! Sorry for the delay in updating! It’s been very hard these past few months. Angelise started to have sever heart failure so they decided to do a procedure for a mechanical heart. Her heart is resting now while the machine pumps it for her until she receives her donor heart. She had it done the end of June. She is still in the hospital waiting on the transplant which has been 8 long months. I’m praying for her miracle to come soon. Godbless you all and thank you for your support!!
It's Memorial Day and we are here with our princess! It's been 3 months and still no heart but we believe that it will happen soon. She's doing good we miss her being home, but we know that she's in good hands.
Hi Everyone! Quick Update:
Angelise is currently in the hospital still waiting for a heart. We don't know how long she will be there, so far it's been two months. She has been on a rollercoaster and it seems that the milrinone medication that she is currently on to relax her heart has been increased a couple of times. We are hoping for a dream to come true soon. We miss her so much and would love to have her home with us soon. Please keep her in your prayers. I will continue to update you guys as much as I can. Thank you for all your support and donations.
Angelise was admitted to the hospital due to her heart function weakening. Her tricuspid valve has also been affected as well. She will remain hospitalized until she finds a donor heart. We pray that she will find it soon. Her happiness is to be home with us and sadly she won't be able to. I'll keep you all posted...
It's been a while since I've been able to give an update. Angelise has had many ups and downs> she got sick in February, March, and April. Recently make a wish granted her on a Magical Disney Cruise hich was an amazing experience. Sadly, she got really sick and when we arrived we immediately took her to Arnold Palmer where she was admitted for a few days. The plastic Bronchitis is getting worse in my opinion. I'm hoping soon she will have the heart she needs, so that she may live a normal life. Thank you all for your support!!!
Angelise had such a great time at her birthday party. She is doing great and I'm thankful that the Saint Cloud made her birthday very special. She's such an inspiration in my life and she keeps me motivated.. Love you angelise!! Thank you all for your help in donations as well as support...
Angelise is doing great thus far! She had a recent appointment with the transplant center to get some test done so that she may be put on the 1A list. Hopefully soon we shall hear some news.
Angelise is doing well still spitting up cast. So far it's under control. We pray that she continues feeling better so that she does not have to be hospitalized. Please keep her in your prayers. Thank You!
This morning Angelise spit up a cast, which mean that the plastic bronchitis is back. :(
I'm hoping to make sure that I take extra care of her and avoid any fat so that it can go away. We shall see I will keep you all posted. Also, I wanted to thank all the people for their Donations. We greatly appreciate the support. Thank You! God Bless you all!

Me and my daughter are praying for you, Angelise. We met a family member of yours at the toy store and she told us what you are going through. You have truly encouraged me in what you are fighting through.. I do not know you but I do know God and He will never leave His children. Thank you for your courage and for affecting someone you have never met in such an impactfull way. You are clearly part of Gods plan as I needed my heart softened by hearing of your situation at that moment. I pray that Jesus showers you and your family with the love that only He can provide and blesses you beyond human comprehension.

Dear Angelise; God it with you, trust him. SAL.46.1,2,7 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea. The Lord of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge.
With love; Adelina Matos

Always in my prayers, along with all the other wonderful boys and girls of Bright Start. That heart will come! This little girl is the light to so many lives and she has definitely taught me more than a thing or two about myself and simply about life. Thank you for being the wonderful little diva that you are, Angi.

Conocimos a Angelis gracias a mi amiga Wanda Ramirez en una actividad familiar. Fue muy inspirador ver como Angelis disfrutaba y se divertia con sus primitos y con una hermosa sonrisa en sus labios y su dulce voz cautivo nuestro corazon. Estas en nuestras oraciones y confiamos plenamente en el Poder del Amor de Dios.
Dios te bendiga Angelis! Un gran Abrazo.

I read this on Facebook (I am an old friend of Zulay Urena's) I felt compelled to donate. My little cousin needed a heart transplant when he was 6 years old. I know what my family went through and I wanted to do my part to help your beautiful little girl.
God Bless you and your daughter and I hope you get all the donations you need!
