SAT . An 11-Year-Old Girl Waits for a Heart — and a Second Chance at Life

Once she goes in, she won’t come out the same. And everyone who loves her knows it.
Right now, an 11-year-old girl named Adali is waiting in a quiet hospital room, surrounded by machines, prayers, and the heavy stillness that comes with uncertainty. She is waiting for a heart — one that could save her life.
Doctors have moved Adali as high as possible on the transplant list. Time matters now. One side of her heart is failing. The other is working overtime, pushing beyond its limits just to keep her alive. There is no donor yet — only waiting. And with it, a weight no family is ever prepared to carry.

When Adali eventually goes into surgery, she will step into one of the most painful and profound moments medicine can hold. Her second chance at life will come hand in hand with another family’s unimaginable loss. It is a truth that sits heavy on everyone who knows her story.
So her family is praying — not only for a donor heart, but for the family who may soon face the most selfless decision imaginable in the middle of their own heartbreak.
Adali’s life has already been shaped by battles most adults never face. She has survived leukemia. She endured a bone marrow transplant. She has lived through seizures, countless hospital stays, and years defined by resilience instead of routine childhood memories.
Her body is tired now. But her spirit is not.
She’s holding on. Her family is holding on. And together, they believe that the right heart will come at the right time.

Until then, they wait — hoping their daughter’s story does not unfold in silence.
Please keep Adali and her family in your prayers. Pray for a donor. Pray for the family who may soon say goodbye so Adali can say hello to a new life. And if you feel moved, share her story — because no child should wait alone.
