Greetings!
Day for Hearts Celebration
We
would like to thank everyone who joined us in February at our annual
"Day for Hearts" celebration. Meeting all the heart miracles and their
families really brought joy and 'hope' to our hearts.
We
are especially grateful for all the volunteers that donated their time
and talents to make this a successful event. A special appreciation to
all that donated carepackage items. With your donations we were able to
pass out over 40 carepackages to families at Children's Hospital of
Michigan and U of M's C.S. Mott Children's Hospital. We are so
encouraged by the support we are able to provide to families affected
by congenital heart defects. We want to thank you all for supporting
our mission of providing "hope" to one another.
