Two Heart Patients, Two Different Journeys, Same Life-Changing Result Thanks To Sick Kids Hospital

February 24, 2018 by Penny Leave a Comment

For the past three months, my family has been hosting a five year old Haitian boy and his mom in our home. David, like my own son William, was born with congenital heart defects. However, unlike William who had medical interventions since birth and a full repair at only five months old, David has had to wait over 5 years for his repair.

David’ journey to life saving surgery and to a healthy heart also required the help of amazing organizations such as Haiti Cardiac Alliance and the Herbie Fund. Take a minute to read about his journey on the Sick Kids Foundation blog and if you feel like funding the fight to improve the lives of sick children you can consider making a donation to Sick Kids Hospital on our page in honour of William.
