My husband and I have a 2 year old daughter who was born with multiple holes in her heart. At 5 months old she had her 1st heart surgery to help her grow and thrive until she was old enough for the major open heart surgery that would fix the holes. Then at 14 months old, she was big enough and they did the big surgery. She is now a very active toddler now but still may need another surgery in the future. Through out all of this Jamie's Heart Foundation has been there for us--financially and emotionally--letting us know we're not alone and helping us be with our daughter when she needed us by her side. I'm incredibly thankful for this nonprofit organization that helps families like mine get through a very difficult and stressful time!!
I have assisted with the JHF Annual Gala and Auction for the past four years. It is an amazing organization. It's board, led by Tim Hannah, is incredibly passionate, and you could not find a group of more incredible or caring people. They work so hard to help families of children with congenital heart defects, and do an amazing job.
