Teresa "Fang Fang " Bartlinski

Teresa was born on December 25, 2006 in China. She was born with a very complex heart condition. In July 2010, GOD added Teresa to our family through adoption. We have been blessed with 9 wonderful children. Gods grace has woven us together as a family. Upon bringing Teresa home from China we unfortunately learned she not only needed a heart transplant but also a lung transplant. Her doctors feel she would not survive this operation. Please help us to pray for a miracle for Teresa's heart and lungs to be healed. She is a very special little soul who has touched so many lives around the world ...
I BELIEVE IN MIRACLES!

"Love You More" Heart Home

The "Love You More " Heart Home will be in Beijing China. Teresa loved to say " I love you more" and these were her last words to us.  In Teresa's memory  we want to help other orphans in China who have severe cardiac disease like her. 

Ed and I  have partnered with Little Hearts Medical.  Little Hearts Medical was founded by Tanya and Mike Lee and is an approved 501 c Foundation.   Shortly after Teresa passed away , Mike and Tanya came into our lives.  We quickly became friends and learned that our children had been together for several years in China and were friends in the same orphanage. Mike and Tanya have the same vision as Ed and I about helping orphans with heart disease. We quickly started planning how we could make this dream come true. We traveled to China in September and brainstormed with Serena , Lily, Diana and Theresa from Chunmioa Little Flower on how exactly we could reach this goal.




We established a budget and the steps necessary to open the Heart Home.  We partnered with two Hospitals and four Cardiac surgeons and Cardiac Internationalists in Beijing.  We visited the two Hospitals and helped  train the nurses in post op cardiac care for very fragile children. We visited two orphanages and helped  train the caregivers on Cardiac care for the children.  We also partnered with Philips Medical Equipment in China who has agreed to supply  portable heart echo machines for us  to travel to the orphanages and help identify children with cardiac disease.

We have all the plans in place to open the Home , all we need now are the finances.   It will only cost $ 80,000 to run the home for one year.  This will include;
1.  A 25 bed home with the ability to expand in the future.
2.  5 rooms for poor families to stay with their child while we provide them with the medical care necessary for their child.  We will also train the families on how to care for their children before returning to their homes and provide them with follow up care.
3.  All cardiac surgeries.
4.  Medical equipment, furnishings, medicine, food and clothes.
5.  Nannies
6.  LOVE

After the first years expenses have been met , the Chunmioa Foundation will help to cover the costs of all medical care for the children.

It is only money and when you think about it, it is such a small amount of money that is needed and it will have the ability to help so many children.

If you are able to help us raise the money , there are several ways you can donate.
You can donate through  Pay Pal on Teresa's page or Little Hearts Medical .org page.
Or you can send a donation to : Little Hearts Medical, 20 Apple Tree Ct. ,Baltimore MD. 21228

All for you sweet girl !  You spread your love for others with your hugs and smiles and now from heaven you will help children get the medical care they so desperately need and in doing so you will also help them to have their own families. Then all the children will know the love of having their own families!

Hello you Loving Family. I'm a therapist - I hear many stories of anger and disappointment and lack of support. Even through hard times, I turn to your blog and smile and the love, compassion and going the extra mile for others. I'll be adding the heart-home to my list of philanthropic donations through Terracycle. If you haven't heard about Terracycle - it's a great way to help the Earth and donate to great causes. Your family makes me smile and definitely touches my heart. Warmth and peace this holiday. Kelly
