Melanie is 15 years old and her doctor just told us that she will not live to see her 18th birthday. Mel had a case or Rheumatic Fever which now resulted in Rheumatic Heart Disease. Though the incidence of rheumatic fever/rheumatic heart disease is low in the United States, it continues to be the leading cause of cardiovascular death during the first five decades of life in the developing world.

Melanie Serbano was born on July 18th 1995 in a small province in the Philippines. She has five siblings. Three of them are ages 8, 7 and 5. Melanie's mom is a housekeeper and her dad is a sugar cane farmer, but there wasn't enough income to support her family. In 6th grade, Mel dropped out of school to get a job. She took odd jobs like house keeping and babysitting to bring food on the table for her sisters. With the recent Rheumatic Fever attack, Mel is now in need of daily pain medication, heart failure medication, monthly antibiotic injections and continuous medical care for the rest of her life. We are trying to raise funds for Mel's immediate medical needs for heart testing and to secure her daily and monthly medications. Your donation will save her life.

We have a very small goal of only $2,000 with this fundraiser. We are reaching out to ask for help to Heal Mel's Heart and Save Her Life. 

Please feel free to share her link on your facebook, twitter or share her donation widget. We thank you from the bottom of my hearts for any help you can give.  

Girls and fashion go hand in hand. Green Girls and Vintage Fashion? Well, it just makes sense! We'd like to introduce you to our new sister site, VintageFirm.com!

TheGreenGirls.com and ADS Management, LLC has launched VintageFirm.com, an online vintage fashion boutique. VintageFirm.com celebrates the timeless beauty of vintage fashion by featuring original handpicked items from the 40's and 50's to the late 80's and making them accessible to you. Why Vintage Fashion? We are always looking for new and fun opportunities to grow and after our 2nd Year Bash & Fashion Show, the decision was made. Fashion is the new addition TheGreenGirls.com! We considered a new organic clothing line, but that meant creating new products to consume. Why not go deeper than that; go greener than that? By reviving our love for the nostalgic times of the past through vintage fashion, we are helping the environment by keeping these beautiful, timeless pieces out of landfills and into your fashionable wardrobes.

"Who doesn't LOVE vintage fashion?", asks Apple Levy, founder of TheGreenGirls.com and creator of VintageFirm.com.  "There's something beautiful and wistful about the early eras. What better way to appreciate and to get your nostalgia fix than sporting vintage wear?"  

Vintage products added daily! Visit VintageFirm.com and get your fashion fix in timeless style!
