The John Barnett Wemighisa Health Fund was established after a child of one of the Founding members of Families Fit For Children survived dying before his first birthday because of heart complications. Many children never get the opportunity thrive like little Barnett because their parents are not capable to meet the medical bills. The struggle of saving Barnett’s life has been the motivating factor for this campaign. For now, children are linked to international organizations that sponsor children for heart surgeries. We appeal for support of individuals that could save lives more children with life threatening health complications.
