This heart-felt organization works hard to support those patients and families living with a congenital heart defect. They passionately share the joys and the struggles that come from a diagnosis of a congenital heart defect. They truly believe through sharing kind words, and at times toys, they will brighten the day of a family living with these challenges.
Quest at of Heart is a very worthy cause. Over the last several years they have been growing and expanding their reach. I have been working with them for over 5 years and I have seen the smiles and heard the laughs. There are very few things that special needs kids and adults have available to do and this charity expands that list and creates an opportunity not only for individuals but it allows them to be in groups with their friends and allows them to be “normal” for awhile. No judgement, just fun and excitement that they take home and gives them something to look forward to in the future. That is a worth while event.
Quest for The Heart of Christmas All Year Long is one of several programs the Quest of Heart does to enrich the lives of those affect by Complex Congenital Heart Defects. When Lancelot Holton put into being Santa's Assistant, I did what any Mama would, I had to try to make it happen. So I started posting on QOH Facebook page and a story in the News Paper, and dear friends started donating books, puzzles, toys, crayons, coloring books, and gift cards for us to bring to CCHD patients in the hospital. Lancelot loves giving the gifts out, and I hope since he is 23, and his life expectancy was between 1 1/2 and 2 years of age, that we are giving hope to theses families.
I recently meet one of the first blue babies to have surgery by Vivian Thomas. We hope to do a magazine in 2016 to share her story and Lancelot along with others enjoying their Quest of Heart.
It is simple gifts to let others know, that they are not forgotten when they are going through the hardest battles of their lives, that makes Quest of Heart touch Hearts.
